Bell pepper sauce

To make a quick bell pepper sauce for chicken, slice your bell peppers and onions, then heat a little oil in a non-stick pan. Add the veggies and stir, then add diced chicken along with your choice of spices such as salt, pepper, curry, thyme, and nutmeg. Pour in a little water or chicken broth and let it simmer for about 2 minutes for a flavorful sauce.

This bell pepper sauce can easily be made vegetarian or vegan by omitting the chicken and using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can also substitute the chicken with tofu or chickpeas for a protein boost while keeping it plant-based.

Yes, you can store leftover bell pepper sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Just thaw and reheat when you're ready to use it again.

Bell pepper sauce pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. You can serve it over rice, pasta, or quinoa for a complete meal. It also complements grilled meats and roasted vegetables, making it a versatile addition to your dinner table.

If you don't have bell peppers on hand, you can substitute them with other sweet peppers like Anaheim or Poblano peppers. Alternatively, you can use zucchini or carrots for a different flavor profile, though the taste will vary from the original recipe.
