Saucy!

Hey guys, ever been to Papa Joes or Papa Browns even Blue Chicago and had the Arizona chicken?  I just love the sauce that comes with it and have been experimenting somewhat and think i just about mastered it.  I know its great to go out for dinner but if your stuck for tasty ideas why not try it and it spices up any dinner rather than just having something like gravy which our taste-buds are ever so accustomed to.  Its a red pepper , tomato and basil creamy sauce that is really simple to make and goes really well with chicken.  you can also make it healthy if you are cutting back which is fabulous and it still tastes great.

Recipe: serves 4

2 Red peppers, thickly sliced
2 tomatoes halved
1/2 onion finely chopped
Olive oil/ fry light
Chicken stock cube
salt and pepper
1/2 glass white wine/ you can use half wine half water
50ml whipping cream/ natural yogurt
handful of fresh basil, finely chopped

Method:  Place the peppers, tomatoes and onion in a roasting tray, drizzle with oil or fry light (if you are choosing the healthier option), season and place tray in oven.  Roast at 180c for 15mins or until soft.

Place the peppers, tomatoes and onion in a pot and add the stockcube and wine and reduce by half.  add cream or yogurt and bring to the boil.

Blend the mix with a stick blender until smooth, pass through a sieve and check seasoning.  Add basil at the end to retain the flavour and voila!
