Vodka Pepper Chicken

Category: Chicken

3 tablespoons black pepper
3 tablespoons white pepper
3 tablespoons red pepper
3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons lemon pepper
4 (8 to 10-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, whole
2 tablespoons butter
4 to 5 green onions, white and green parts, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup vodka
1 (16-ounce can) diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup sliced black olives, drained
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Serving suggestions: Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes


Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Mix black, white, red, and lemon pepper together in a pie dish. Rinse chicken and roll while still moist in pepper mixture to coat both sides of breast. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and then add chicken, onions, and garlic. Brown the chicken on both sides.

Add vodka and let cook until chicken is cooked through, approximately 8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet, place on a lined pan, and keep warm in preheated oven. Add tomatoes, olives, Worcestershire, and oregano to the sauce and mix ingredients well with a wooden spoon. Let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet and cook until the tomatoes break down and make a sauce, about 15 minutes. Serves 4
