Broiled Pepper Chicken

Submitted by teresas

"I got this recipe back in 1989 out of a Betty Crocker cookbook called "Make it Light" It's a quick and easy dish to prepare (using boneless chicken) and has a nice kick to it. I have made it even lighter and quicker by using skinless chicken breast with out bones. Cooks up in half the time. This is a great dish to make after a hard day at work."

2. Place chicken, skin sides down, on rack in broiler pan. Set oven control to broil. Broil chicken with tops 7 to 9 inches from heat 30 minutes; (15 mins for boneless) turn. Broil until brown and thickest pieces are done 20 to 30 minutes longer. (I will sometimes throw them on the BBQ.).

What a fantastically quick,easy and totally delicious dish! I was dubious about the marjoram and chilli fusion,but hey,it works really well. I used skinless chicken breast,brushed on the mixture and threw it into the George Foreman for a few minutes..served with a crisp green salad,recipe #289258#289258 and a well chilled glass of wine,it completely rescued a bad day at work!! I'm keeping this one,thanks Teresa...I loved it!!

Instant flavor with ingredients always hanging out in the pantry. I was really surprised to see marjoram and pepper together but they do work rather well. Have to confess I was looking to shave a point so I skipped the butter/margarine and used just the olive oil. Glad to have this in my too busy to really cook arsenal. Thanks!
