The combination of flavors creates a savory and satisfying meal that is both comforting and slightly creative with the addition of a hint of smoked paprika for depth. Perfectly balanced for a wholesome dinner, this recipe is simple yet packed with flavor.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

4. Slice the chicken breasts and serve on a plate topped with the sautéed peppers and onions. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
