Steps:
- Heat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- Place peppers, tomatoes, garlic and almonds on the baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes, checking every 10-15 minutes to rotate peppers and tomatoes so that all sides get blistered, and to remove almonds and garlic once they are done (about 10-15 minutes in).
- Place peppers and tomatoes in a bowl and cover with foil or plastic wrap. Let sit for 10 minutes to steam (this makes them easier to peel).
- Gently peel skins away from peppers and tomatoes. Discard skins and pepper seeds and stem. Squeeze garlic from the cloves.
- Place all ingredients for the sauce in a high powered blender, such as a Vitamix, and blend until smooth.
- While vegetables are roasting, marinate chicken. Make sure chicken is an even thickness so that they cook more evenly. You may have to lightly pound them into even thickness. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt, pepper and garlic powder on both sides. Add Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil, and turn chicken to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook it.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400°F.) Cook chicken for about 5 minutes per side, then turn heat to low and/or move chicken to top rack of the grill and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165° F and juices run clear, about 10-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
- Serve each chicken breast topped with Romesco sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SMOKY ROMESCO SALAD
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are grilled and topped with a smoky romesco-inspired vinaigrette. Instead of being pureed into a silky sauce, onions, bell peppers and a baguette are charred and coarsely chopped, then combined with garlic, smoked paprika, vinegar, chopped almonds and parsley to create a fresh topping.

Steps:
- Place the chicken on a large platter and generously season with salt and pepper. Let sit at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- Whisk together the oil, paprika and garlic in a liquid measuring cup until completely combined. Put the peppers, tomatoes, onions and baguette slices on a baking sheet and generously brush with the oil mixture until completely coated, making sure to brush on bits of the garlic and paprika. Reserve the remaining oil mixture for the vinaigrette.
- Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
- Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side (see Cook's Note). Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch strips.
- Grill the peppers and onions until lightly charred and tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill the tomatoes skin-side down until the skin is charred, about 4 minutes; do not grill the cut sides. Transfer to a cutting board and chop the onions and peppers into bite-size pieces. Grill the bread until toasted on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to the same baking sheet. Season the vegetables and croutons with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the vinegar, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into the reserved oil mixture until completely combined. Arrange the chicken on a platter and top with the peppers, onions, tomatoes, croutons and almonds. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and top with parsley. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and serve.
