1
Slice the bell pepper into rings (preferably using three different colors—it looks more vibrant), after removing the seeds. Cut the onion into half‑rings, and grate the garlic on a fine grater.
2
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a mixture of 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter, fry the breasts until they develop a golden crust. Transfer them to a baking dish.
3
In the same skillet, sauté the onion until it turns golden brown, then transfer it to the dish with the chicken.
4
It's time for the bell pepper—lightly sauté the rings until they become tender—and then add the chicken.
5
Place the grated garlic in a skillet, sauté for 30 seconds, then add water along with chopped tomatoes and mix well. Add Italian herbs, a vegetable bouillon cube, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Pour in half a glass of cream and stir.
6
Cook the sauce for 5 minutes over low heat. Pour it over the chicken with the vegetables. Cover with foil and place in the oven at 200 °C for 30 minutes.
7
Take it out, sprinkle with grated cheese, return the chicken to the oven—this time without foil—for another 15 minutes, until the cheese melts.
