Tuscan Chicken

Here's another easy recipe...oh wait, ALL of my recipes here are easy!  :)

Ingredients:
3-4 Chicken Breasts
Pepper (to taste)
2 Tbsp oil
1 Green pepper
1 Red pepper
1 Yellow or orange pepper
1/2 Onion
2-3 Slices of prosciutto or deli ham, chopped up (only if you want to add it)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 Can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 Cup chicken broth (or 1/2 bouillon cube diluted into 1/4 cup water)
2 tsp's dried basil

Directions:
*Dash pepper onto both sides of each chicken breast.

*Put your oil into your skillet, add your chicken breasts, then turn on your skillet to medium-high heat.  Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes per side (careful not to burn).

*While your chicken is cooking, slice all of your peppers and onion into tiny slices.

*Take the chicken out of the skillet and put then onto a plate.


*Put your peppers, onion, and garlic powder into the same skillet with a bit more oil on top of it all.  If you are using deli meat, add it now also.


*Cook the peppers and onions until they are cooked for about 4-5 minutes.

*Add the chicken, can of tomatoes, chicken broth, and basil to the onion and pepper mix in the skillet.  Simmer it all for 12-15 minutes covered.

*I would make up some white rice and serve this over the white rice next time.  Tonight I served it with boiled potatoes and think it would have been better with white rice.  The rice would be easier too if your doing the instant rice.

(I got this recipe from Taste of Home's Healthy Cooking magazine's Aug/Sept 2011 issue.  Of course this is my changed up a bit version...)
