Ready in minutes and made with pantry staples, this recipe is sure to become a weeknight go-to. The sauce, a simple puree of roasted red peppers, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and basil, is delicious as a topping for pasta or salmon, too. Plan ahead and double the sauce because it will hold up well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Use it later in the week to help you throw together another quick meal. Serve the chicken with a simple veggie side that cooks in minutes. Steamed broccoli, green beans, spinach, asparagus, and cauliflower are all speedy and satisfying options.
