Beautiful enough for special spring dinners, yet easy
enough for weekday suppers, these chicken breasts are
bursting with the fresh flavors of simple ingredients.
This recipe can also be doubled if you have extra guests.
Remove one-quarter of each sweet pepper; cut out a few
decorative shapes and set aside for garnishing. Cut
remaining sweet peppers into thin strips. In nonstick
skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook sweet pepper
strips and 1/4 tsp each of the salt, pepper and thyme,
stirring, for 3 minutes. Set aside. Pat chicken breasts
dry. Place, skin side up, between 2 sheets of waxed paper;
pound lightly to 1/4-inch thickness. Turn chicken over;
sprinkle skinless sides with 1/4 tsp each of the salt and
pepper. Place sweet pepper strips crosswise on short end
of each chicken breast; roll up and secure with
toothpicks. Sprinkle with remaining salt, pepper and
thyme. In same skillet, brown chicken lightly on all
sides. Transfer to baking sheet; bake in 375F 190C oven
;for 10-15 ;minutes or until chicken is no longer pink
inside. Meanwhile, in skillet, bring chicken stock to
