I am positive you are going to love the juicy sweetness of the bell peppers with the savory chicken breast, sriracha aioli, chives and broccolini mixture inside.

Ingredients

• Baby bell peppers
• Sriracha aioli

Aioli generally has 2 main ingredients: garlic and extra virgin olive oil. It feels lighter than mayo and is healthier I believe. You can learn more about aioli here. In my recipe, I am using Sriracha Aioli by Stonewall Kitchen that I have discovered not that long ago.

• Chicken breast (prepared)

Consider buying fully cooked chicken breast strips.

• Broccolini
• Chives
• Fresh sprouts
• Olive oil (optional)
