Chicken with eggplants and bell peppers is a very tasty main course that I often prepare during this period 🙂
In summer, eggplants and bell peppers are at their best: they are a seasonal vegetable, although they are now available all year round, but I prefer to eat seasonal vegetables.
Besides chicken with potatoes, this is one of my favorite dishes.
It can be cooked both in a pan and in the oven; here I’ve baked it.
For the chicken, I used thighs as they are the most meaty and fleshy.
Since the temperatures have been a bit cooler these days, I felt like cooking something more flavorful, so I decided to make this dish 😀
I used red bell peppers, but you can also use yellow or green ones.
If you like, you can also add some olives to taste.
What do you think about making it too? You probably know it already and have cooked it before, but I’d like to present my version 😉
