Asian Style Peppers

August 15, 2013 by Katie Leave a Comment

When I made my cilantro grilled chicken, I wanted an quick and yummy side dish to serve with it.  The only veggie I had left in my fridge was some red bell peppers.  After searching and searching for an Asian inspired red pepper side dish, I gave up.  I could not find anything that interested me.  I did, however, come across a tempting green bean recipe.  So, I decided to use it as my inspiration for this dish.

This is definitely a fast recipe.  The peppers were finished before my chicken was grilled.  The sauce had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy (from the brown sugar and crushed red pepper flakes).  And the rich red color looked great next to the chicken.  I can’t wait to try this recipe with green beans too!
