• 1 (12oz) jar roasted peppers, drained and chopped
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate.

2. Add onion to fat in skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add peppers, sugar, broth and browned chicken along with any accumulated juices and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
