• Sauté all of your peppers and onions in olive oil until crisp and aromatic.
• As soon as you finish sautéing the produce, remove container with chicken from the fridge and the lid. Add a generous amount of butter on top of the chicken and then empty your freshly sautéed produce into the container, secure the lid, and place back into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

• After 15-20 minutes in the oven, remove pan and allow chicken to rest for about 5 minutes.
