This great summer grilled dinner can easily be adapted to the broiler or stove top grill pan for both the chicken and the roasted peppers required for the sauce.

It was a very colourful plate at dinner last night. The backyard grill was put to good use again to quickly grill some quickly marinated herb and garlic chicken and also to roast some red peppers for a very quick and simple pureed sauce.

The slightly spicy sauce went equally well with the chicken and with the herb roasted sweet potatoes that we served with it. All-in-all it turned out to be a very successful grilling experiment and one we will definitely be trying again.

I think we will try it next time with some delicious grilled shrimp. We will let you know how that turns out.

NOTE: I like to debone my own chicken breasts so that I can roast the bones and skins for stock later. I freeze them until I have enough to cover a baking sheet then use the instructions in my post on making Chicken Stock here.
