Pour chicken broth into a small frying pan and bring to a simmer. Add chicken, cover, and simmer until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the pan and let cool.

In the same frying pan, add onion and red pepper. Sauté over medium heat until soft, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Peppermint Bark Cookies
A light, festive holiday cookie for those who enjoy peppermint bark but might prefer something less time-consuming. I wanted a peppermint cookie that was easy and reminded me of Christmas. I think I found it! Made them with my 4-year-old daughter who had fun and kept saying 'mmmm' as she ate them.
Borscht-Braised Beef Short Ribs
I've never been a big fan of beets, but in certain things, like borscht, I love them. With that simple soup as an inspiration, I thought the flavors would work nicely with the rich, fatty short ribs, and they sure did.
