Chicken Murphy

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 can (28oz) whole tomatoes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1-1/2lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cut into chunks
1 large red sweet pepper, seeds removed - sliced
1/2 large sweet onion, peeled and chopped
4 hot cherry peppers, cut in half, seeds removed
1/2lb orzo, cooked following package directions
*optional - grated parmesan cheese

                       

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant. Stir in tomatoes with liquid, salt and pepper. Break up tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

                                          

2. Add chicken, sweet peppers, onion and cherry peppers. Cook over medium-high heat, covered, for 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and stir peppers and onion. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until internal temperature of the chicken registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.

                   
3. Serve with cooked orzo. Sprinkle with grated cheese, if desired.
