Provencal Chicken

If you're like most of us you find chicken to be a staple protein that is used in your dinner meal planning several times a week (or more). But of course the problem most of us face is falling into those dreaded chicken ruts. This is a wonderful meal to break you out of boring chicken. Provencal Chicken is a French version of chicken stew, with lots of tomatoes, garlic and herbs.

This is an easy chicken recipe that will appeal to the busy cook!  That aren't a lot of additional steps yet the resulting flavor is loaded with complexity as the bouquet of dried herbs in this dish give an intense, rich flavor to the chicken and peppers.  I used dried herbs, tomatoes and shallots but you could certainly use fresh ingredients for any of the dried herbs in this recipe - but when fresh is not available - dried herbs are a fine substitute. 

This healthy chicken recipe is low in calories per serving while being an excellent source of Vitamin K, B6, Potassium and Selenium and also a very good source of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Niacin.
