Juicy chicken, bell peppers and onions in a spicy tomato sauce topped with goat cheese and fresh basil. Serve with rice or pasta to make it extra-filling, or eat on it’s own for a low carb option that tastes like a treat! For my friends who don’t love the spice, omit the red pepper flakes and swap for some oregano instead.

Instructions
- Slice bell peppers and onion into small strips of equal size. Set aside. Cut chicken breasts into large bite sized pieces.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a deep skillet heated on medium high heat. Season chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper, and place in the heated skillet. Brown 2-3 minutes on each side, and remove to a plate.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil and add garlic, cooking 1 minute until fragrant. Add onions and bell peppers, cook for 5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Add crushed plum tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. Return chicken pieces to sauce and simmer for 5 - 10 minutes on low.
- Pick basil leaves off of stems, and roughly chop. Serve chicken and sauce with 1 - 2 Tbsp goat cheese and a sprinkle of basil.
