Roasted peppers:
Cut red bell peppers in half and remove seeds. Place cut side down and place in a 425 F degree preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Skin should start to blacken. Remove and allow to cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove outer skin and add skinless bell peppers into a food processor (or into a bowl and use an emulsion blender.) Add a little less than 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and 2-3 tbsp of pine nuts. Add salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth.

Salt and pepper chicken to taste and place on a hot grill (or grill pan.) Cook 4-5 minutes per side or until internal juices run clear.

  1. This sauce is delicious.

    I felt it was missing something so I added a few cloves of garlic.

    Peel the garlic and roast it with the peppers, scrape out the nice gooey cooked garlic (don’t use the roasted outside or it will taste bitter) and put it into the food processor and whiz it up with the rest of the ingredients.

    Beautiful!
