Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Halve the red bell peppers lengthwise, remove the seeds and stems, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the skins are blistered and the flesh is tender. Remove from the oven and set aside; reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C).

While the peppers roast, place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
