Chicken ins a quick, easy and tasty creamy roasted red pepper and goat cheese sauce with spinach.
One of my favourite flavour combinations is sweet roasted red peppers with creamy and tangy goat cheese which is simply divine in this creamy roasted red pepper and spinach goat cheese skillet chicken! This dish is so quick and easy to make that it’s perfect for weeknight dinners and yet it’s also great for entertaining, not to mention that’s it only uses one skillet! The recipe is as simple as grilling some chicken, sautéing some onions and garlic and then creating the tasty sauce with a combination of pureed roasted red peppers, goat cheese and chicken broth which is simmered until the goat cheese melts completely making the sauce oh so nice and creamy! I often like to add some vegetables and fresh spinach is my veggie of choice but lots of other ones work just as well! Serve this creamy roasted red pepper and spinach goat cheese skillet chicken over quinoa, rice, pasta, etc with a side of steamed veggies or a salad and you have one tasty dinner that is perfect for any night of the week, even a busy work night!

Tom Sproull says Really enjoying low carb meals right now while I watch my girly (ok manly figure) but if they lack flavor then I'll just eat my kids leftover halloween candy. The red peppers make this dish look really good. On thursdays, I go to my moms house to cook with the girls. Going to try this!

The sauce never thickened for me😢

If you want it thicker just add some cornstarch or flour slurry.

The sauce was delicious but could have been thicker. Next time I think I'll but half as much broth.

It says to add the pureed mixture, but doesn’t tell you to puree anything. Are you supposed to puree ingredients?

The roasted red peppers are pureed in the broth. (I clarified the recipe.) Enjoy!

This looks delicious, but is extremely misleading as to prep time. It’s certainly doable in closer to a half hour. Prep time is important when cooking on work nights!

I apologize! I was rushing through the reading of this hoping to have time to make it when I saw the “5 minutes prep.” That’ll teach me to read more carefully. Please forgive my mistake!

Could you please give me some idea of what type of goat cheese to use
Reply

Us a soft/young/fresh goat cheese (chevre); it’s usually sold in a log or a tub. Enjoy!
