Best Broiled Pepper Chicken Recipes

BROILED PAPRIKA AND LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease a broiler pan with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
• Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Brush with remaining olive oil until coated. Sprinkle each piece evenly on both sides with paprika, lemon-pepper, and salt. Place on the prepared broiler pan, sprinkle garlic over top, and sprinkle onions around the base of the chicken, with several smaller pieces on top.
• Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook, checking often, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BROILED CHICKEN AND ROASTED PEPPER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Quick-roast and peel bell pepper and cut into 1-inch-wide strips. With a vegetable peeler shave enough Parmigiano-Reggiano to measure about 1/2 cup.
• Put chicken between 2 sheets of dampened plastic wrap and with a rolling pin or flat side of a meat pounder lightly pound to about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange chicken on lightly oiled rack of a broiler pan.
• In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, pepper, and salt to taste. Brush chicken with vinaigrette and broil 2 to 3 inches from heat 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and brush with vinaigrette. Discard any remaining vinaigrette and broil chicken until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
• Cut four 1/2-inch-thick slices from middle of loaf and lightly brush both sides of each slice with remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Toast bread slices on broiler pan under broiler. Halve garlic clove crosswise and rub over 1 side of each slice of toast.
• Assemble sandwiches with chicken, peppers, cheese shavings, and basil and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

BROILED PEPPER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken into pieces: cut each breast half into halves. (I just use the boneless chicken breast). Mix oil, marjoram, red pepper, margarine and salt; brush chicken on both sides with margarine mixture.
• Place chicken, skin sides down, on rack in broiler pan. Set oven control to broil. Broil chicken with tops 7 to 9 inches from heat 30 minutes; (15 mins for boneless) turn. Broil until brown and thickest pieces are done 20 to 30 minutes longer. (I will sometimes throw them on the BBQ.).
