Like so many of what wind up being my family’s favorite dishes, this one happened by circumstance. The circumstance of what was available in my pantry when I went to make a marinade.
I don’t know about you, but until I made this dish, I’d never had Roasted Pepper Chicken before. It sounded like a good idea and I am glad it worked because this is easy to make, deeply flavored, moist and pleased everyone in our family – from young to old (not always easy!).
All you need to do is toss everything (except the chicken!) in a blender or food processor and puree. Then combine that with the chicken (I prefer skinless for this recipe) and let it marinate all day or overnight, if possible. Turn on the oven to 425F and bake until done. Pretty easy right? And, it tastes really good!
NOTES:
- When it comes to buying roasted peppers, I like Trader Joe’s since they don’t have any additives or weird preservatives. My local Costco currently has a great deal on all-natural roasted peppers from Greece that are also free of additives. Alternately, you can always roast your own!
- I have substituted thyme for the rosemary and it’s good (I do like the rosemary better though!)

Great recipe!
Thank you, Judith! Thanks for taking the time to comment and rate this recipe – so glad you liked it!
Could you use boneless chicken breasts for this recipe?
Yes! Just adjust the cooking time 🙂
Awesome idea! I love the Trader Joe’s jarred red peppers – I just finished a jar here this week. I’m going to try this recipe for this week! 🙂
Let me know how you like it Jenna!
Such a wonderful marinade, Alyssa! I can see why this is a hit. I’m heading over the check out your book swap, too – love this idea!
So glad you signed up for the cookbook swap! 🙂
It’s pretty easy to roast your own peppers; but with that said, it’s nice to use already prepared ones, too! They can be a real time saver. Lovely dish – this looks incredibly flavorful. And easy! Thanks.
I am always looking for more chicken recipes. I never knew I could buy roasted peppers, I’ll look out for it next time I go shopping
Hope you love it! 🙂
I know that roasted pepper marinade would be a BIG hit around here!
It’s pretty flexible Joanne – I bet it would be yummy baked onto some Tofu or Tempeh as well!
Wonderfully creative recipe. I too love Trader Joe’s unfortunately the closest one to me is in Connecticut, about 1 hour’s drive.
Do you ever go and bring a cooler and stock up? My husbands Aunt does that. She lives in upstate NY and there isn’t a TJ’s anywhere near her.
P.S. You don’t need TJ’s for this recipe – I just like their Roasted Peppers 🙂
Nice recipe. Thank you and Happy Monday.
Have a great week Liz!
I love when you can create a great recipe with what is at home without having the visit the shops – they are often the best recipes!
So true! Sometimes, being “forced” to be creative is such a gift!
