Directions

Remove one-quarter of each sweet pepper; cut out a few decorative shapes and set aside for garnishing if desired. Cut remaining sweet peppers into thin strips.

Prep your veggies

Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).

In nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and oil. Cook the sweet bell pepper strips and ¼ teaspoon each of the salt, pepper and thyme, stirring, for about 3 to 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Set aside.

Saute the peppers

Pat chicken breasts dry with paper toweling. Place, skin side up, between 2 sheets of waxed paper; pound lightly to ¼ inch thickness.

Turn chicken over and season the skinless sides with ¼ teaspoon each of the salt and pepper.

Flatten and season the chicken

Divide the sweet pepper strips between the chicken breasts and arrange crosswise on the short end of each chicken breast; carefully roll up and secure with toothpicks.

Stuff the chicken breast

Roll as tightly as possible
The chicken breast stuffed with pepers

Sprinkle with remaining salt, pepper and thyme. Using the same skillet, brown chicken lightly on all sides.

Secure and sear
Look for a good sear and carmelization

Transfer to baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F.

Meanwhile, in the same skillet, bring chicken stock to boil, stirring to scrape up any brown bits.

Stir in the Dijon mustard and cook, stirring, over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until slightly reduced.

You didn't mention what temperature to set the oven.

Great recipe. I put my own swing on the sauce though..(added baby bellas) And I cut 3 chicken breasts in half before I pounded them flat so to make smaller portions. YUMM!
Thank you to the creator!

I set to 350° then half way through, realized it needed to be a bit higher...375°. But. You don't want to dry the chicken out ..and a higher setting the entire time will do that
