Chicken with red peppers is a flavorful dish rooted in various cuisines, often influenced by Mediterranean, Asian, or Latin American traditions depending on seasoning and preparation. It typically consists of tender chicken breast or thigh pieces sautéed with vibrant red bell peppers, garlic, onions, and olive oil. Additional spices like chili flakes, paprika, or herbs such as basil may enhance the flavor profile. Both chicken and red peppers shine as nutrient-dense ingredients; chicken is a lean source of protein, while red peppers are rich in vitamins C and A, antioxidants, and fiber. This dish is generally low in carbs and works well in heart-healthy and weight-management diets. Common health considerations include sodium levels from added seasonings or marinades and oils, depending on quantity and type used. For a lighter version, opting for grilled chicken and red peppers with minimal oil is ideal.
