Chicken and Peppers

1 green or red sweet pepper
2 tbsp butter
4 whole chicken breasts, halved
ground cumin

Cut pepper in half. Core and remove seeds and slice into thin strips. Heat butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle each breast half with a pinch of cumin. Sauté breasts for about 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Turn breasts, add pepper strips and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until breasts are tender, about 5 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Serves 4

I couldn't understand buying boneless, skinless chicken breasts and then frying them, so, I seasoned them and baked them in the oven. I added them to the sauteed peppers shortly before serving. I think it must have been the cumin, but the chicken had a lovely aroma and taste.

I invited a few of my favourite lady friends for lunch today to taste test some more recipes from No-More-Than-4 Ingredient Recipes: A Cookbook for Kitchen Klutzes by Joy Gallagher Douglas.
