Spanish Chicken in Red Pepper Sauce

While I’m enjoying a vacation on the Greek Island of Skiathos, we reimagine a chicken dish shared back in August 2014 on the blog. It is the perfect time of year to be gathering sweet, seasonal red peppers from your local farmers market, or if you’re lucky from your own garden.

This is the first summer in 7 years when I haven’t grown my own, hence my nostalgia for this recipe. It’s a wonderfully simple, smoky sauce, all blitzed up in a small blender and added to any meat you choose. 

Any leftovers of the sauce I seriously recommend stirring in some crumbled feta cheese for a fruity, salty and spiced Greek style appetizer served with toasted pita bread.

And while I’m enjoying the best of the Mediterranean, as part of our back to school offer running through the end of August and September, if you purchase 2 Slow Cooker Spice Blends, we will send you a Mediterranean pouch for free. Each pouch includes 2 packets of pre-measured, premium spices, to make the signature recipe included. Just type “back to school” in the order notes section in the shopping cart.
