Make dinner you and your family will absolutely love! This Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce with Chicken Thighs is made with real red peppers, cream, and chicken thighs.
Over the past few months, I have become addicted and dependent on meal kits. I typically use Home Chef but I have tried a few others like Gobble, Hello Fresh, and The Fresh Market has some pretty cool meal kits as well. I love meal kits because I know that for 2 days out of the week, I don’t have to stare in the cabinets and refrigerator trying to figure out what I can put together that my husband and I will enjoy and my very picky toddler son will eat as well. If you are a busy working parent like myself, meal kits will be your best friend.
First let me say, although I am not fond of eating raw peppers like many people I know, I do appreciate and enjoy the flavor that comes from adding peppers to dishes. I particularly like the flavor of roasted red peppers. There is something about that flavor that makes me go nuts. The char on those peppers completely transforms the flavor. The flavor is like nothing else. I love using roasted red peppers in sauces.
How I made this Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Thighs
The Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is surprisingly simple. All you need is a jar of roasted red peppers, garlic, heavy cream, and Parmesan Cheese. That’s it! You can blend this sauce in one of two ways. One way is to blend the peppers and garlic along with the seasonings in a food processor. Or, you can use a hand-held immersion blender, which is what I did because I didn’t feel like getting out the food processor. Choices. Add some heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and basil. Simmer this sauce in some beautifully roasted chicken thighs and you are in the money!

I hope so!
So tasty! My husband loved this meal!
Great! I’m so glad!
Do I drain the peppers before blending or all everything in the jar to blend?
You can just remove the peppers from the jar.
You should drain them.
I made this twice this week and it’s really really good
Yay! It is one of our favorites too Mike!
So, So Good!!! Had this recipe pinned for a while and just got around to making it! It is very tasty. Served it with homemade egg noodles and roasted asparagus. Tasted like a meal you would order in a high class restaurant. Forgot to mention how quick and easy it was to make, too! Will make this again!
What a wonderful compliment Sandy! Thank you!
