Chicken in Pepper Sauce is a flavorful dish rooted in global culinary traditions, though its bold seasoning often hints at Asian or African influences. Typically, it features tender chicken pieces simmered in a spicy, savory sauce made with bell peppers, black pepper, garlic, onions, and sometimes chili for added heat. The base may include broth, tomato paste, or cream for richness, depending on regional variations. Nutritiously, this dish offers lean protein from the chicken while the peppers provide vitamins A and C along with antioxidants. However, care should be taken with sodium levels from seasoning and sauces, as these can be high depending on preparation. Opting for fresh ingredients and minimizing added cream or salt can make it a healthier option. Perfect as a main course, it pairs well with steamed rice or vegetables, making it both a wholesome and satisfying meal.
