Adapted from Recipe Goldmine. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons walnuts |
4 -6 boneless chicken breasts |
salt and pepper |
2 medium green bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut into strips |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh minced tarragon |
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese |
1 1/2 cups orzo pasta, cooked |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large skillet. Saute nuts for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside.
2. Season chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Saute on high for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden. It's not necessary to cook through because there's additional cook-time. Remove chicken and cover to keep warm.
3. Add peppers and garlic to skillet. Saute over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Deglaze pan with wine, scraping to remove browned particles. Scatter tarragon and pine nuts over peppers.
4. Place chicken breasts in a single layer over peppers. Scatter cheese over chicken. Cover and cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese melts.
5. To serve, place chicken over or beside peppers and orzo pasta on plate. Garnish with pan juices.
