Creating Garlic Red Pepper Chicken is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by prepping all your ingredients. Slice the red bell peppers and mince the garlic.
2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
