Cut sweet peppers into thin strips
In a nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook sweet pepper strips and 1/4 tsp each of the salt, pepper and thyme, stirring, for three minutes. Set aside.
Pat chicken dry. Place between sheets of waxed paper; pound lightly to 1/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place pepper strips crosswise on short end of each breast; roll up and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with remaining salt, pepper and thyme.
