Baked Chicken Breasts and Vegetables
This baked chicken and vegetable dish is delicious. I got in from work one night and wanted something a little lighter. I used frozen chicken breasts and fresh veggies. I added the spices at random, and it turned out really good, I thought. There were no complaints from the others either.

This dish is great for summer meals. Bell peppers are roasted and then twice-cooked with other vegetables to make a sweet and rich treat. Serve with a baguette, and use the bread as your fork, Algerian-style.
