Slice in half or pound slightly for quicker, even cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion<\/strong> - Forms the savoury base of the sauce with a touch of natural sweetness. A white or yellow onion works best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong> - Adds depth and warmth to the sauce. A must for building flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Roasted red peppers (jarred, brined)<\/strong> - These bring a lovely smoky sweetness to the sauce. Drain and rinse to tone down the brine. Most go into the blender, but a few are reserved to dice and stir in for texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tomato paste<\/strong> - Gives the sauce a deep, rich tomato flavour. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive oil<\/strong> - Used to saut\u00e9 the onion and garlic, adding richness to the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maple syrup<\/strong> - Just a touch goes into the sauce to balance out the acidity and enhance the natural sweetness of the peppers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stock<\/strong> - Helps loosen the sauce and adds savoury depth. A simple way to keep everything full of flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and pepper<\/strong> - For seasoning throughout. Adjust to taste at the end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh basil leaves<\/strong> - Most get blended into the sauce for herby freshness, but a few are reserved and added to top just before serving for that final burst of flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive oil spray<\/strong> - Used to coat the pan lightly when searing the chicken, keeping things light without compromising on that lovely golden colour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe is easy to adapt depending on what you've got in the fridge or what you're craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swap the chicken breast for <strong>boneless skinless chicken thighs<\/strong> if you prefer something a bit more tender and full-flavoured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prawns (shrimp)<\/strong> are another lovely option. They cook quickly, so stir them into the sauce right at the end and simmer just until they turn pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a richer twist, add a splash of <strong>single cream<\/strong> after blending to make the sauce silky and smooth. It turns the dish into a comforting creamy version without much effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle in some <strong>chilli flakes<\/strong> while cooking the garlic to bring a gentle heat that balances the sweetness of the peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheese - if serving with pasta, some grated parmesan finishes the dish off beautifully or you can ever add some torn mozzarella and finish off by melting under the grill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No fresh basil? A spoonful of green <strong>pesto<\/strong> stirred into the sauce at the end will still give that flavour, or you can use dried basil (the flavour won't be as intense), just add it earlier so it has time to infuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extra Vegetables<\/strong> - Add chopped courgettes, mushrooms, or mixed bell peppers for extra texture and flavour. Saute these tougher veggies first to soften them before adding the sauce. Spinach can be stirred in at the end. Keep in mind, extra veg will thicken the sauce, so add a splash more stock to keep it nice and saucy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, you get a heartier dish without losing any of that vibrant, roasted red pepper flavour.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"A quick and vibrant one-pan dish, this Chicken in Roasted Red Pepper Basil Sauce is full of bold Mediterranean flavour and ready in around 30 minutes.\" data-pin-title=\"Chicken in Roasted Red Pepper Basil Sauce\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/chicken-in-roasted-red-pepper-and-basil-sauce-19.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken in Roasted Red Pepper Basil Sauce in double handled non stick pan with a bowl of potato wedges and small bowl of fresh basil \" class=\"wp-image-45274\" title=\"Craving something bold and flavourful without spending ages in the kitchen?
