Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 (15 ounce) jar Classico® Tomato and Basil Sauce
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup pitted green olives, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons capers for garnish

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper the chicken breasts on both sides.
  • Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in oil and cook until chicken begins to turn white, about 3 or 4 minutes. Turn and cook until chicken is browned, 3 or 4 more minutes, and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove chicken from skillet.

VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER | ALLRECIPES



Veracruz-Style Red Snapper | Allrecipes image

I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapenos, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.
