The Chicken: We Brine it For Tenderness!

There is a well known ‘secret’ to getting moist, tender chicken breasts: brining, and it’s as simple as soaking the breasts in salted water! The salt softens the proteins in the meat, making them more tender.

The Sauce:

This Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce tastes great on chicken, but I drizzle some on the grilled veggies too. It’s made with roasted roasted ed bell peppers, mayonnaise, cayenne pepper, and garlic. You can buy roasted red bell peppers in a jar, or make your own (much less expensive) To learn to roast your own red peppers click here! To keep this meal low stress, I recommend making the sauce in advance. It can be kept in the fridge for up to a week.
