Chicken with THE BEST Red Pepper Sauce

You don't usually expect to have the main part of the meal be the sauce. Normally, it's just something to compliment the larger portion of food on your plate. Like red sauce on spaghetti and meatballs. This meal was the complete opposite.

My father is a magician. He cannot pull a bunny out of a hat, but he sure can turn a somewhat unappetizing red pepper into a beautifully creamy crimson sauce, and that is a lot better than some random bunny (probably animatronic...). Who knew someone could make possibly the most delicious sauce ever out of just a few roasted red peppers, garlic, black pepper, vegetable oil, and a dash of nutmeg.

Of course I can't leave out the chicken. It was delicious, as usual. Thin sliced chicken breasts, dusted with ground coriander, little salt and pepper, blackened in a pan. Chicken never disappoints. I also can't ignore the vegetables. Good old steamed broccoli. Whoever came up with the idea of eating broccoli raw, is insane. It tastes like chalk. Steamed broccoli, however, is one of the best tasting vegetables, and goes well with everything.

Yet another meal that makes my day. I swear, even though this sounds gross, I could have eaten that pepper sauce with a spoon, and it was healthy as well. I'm glad to say, an absolute love at first bite.
