Skillet Chicken with Peppers and Peanuts
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cups Cooking Sherry
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
- 13 cups Soy Sauce
- 3 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (I Used Large Ones)
- 1 whole Green Bell Pepper
- 1 whole Red Bell Pepper
- 1 whole Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1 pinch Salt
- 13 cups Dry Roasted Peanuts, Coarsely Chopped
- 2-24 hours beforehand, combine the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sherry, 2 tablespoons olive oil and soy in a baking dish.
- I always tenderize my chicken with a meat mallet, but it isnt necessary.
- Add chicken to the marinade and let marinate for 2-24 hours, turning occasionally to coat.
- I always let my chicken sit at room temperature in the marinade for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- When ready to cook, heat an oven-safe (I used cast iron) skillet over medium heat.
- Slice green, red and yellow peppers.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and add peppers with a pinch of salt, reserving a few pepper slices.
- Stir and cook for 5 minutes.
- Push peppers to the side and turn heat up to medium high.
- Add chicken breasts and sear on each side until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
- After the second side has seared, top the chicken with the reserved pepper slices and add the entire skillet to the oven, uncovered.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and immediately top with peanuts.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with brown rice.
