Preparing roasted bell peppers with chicken and sour cream is a true culinary delight, perfect for a family meal or a quick lunch. Step by step, you will create a dish rich in flavors and textures that will impress everyone.

1. Preparing the peppers: Start by roasting the peppers. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the peppers on a baking tray and brush them with a little olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes until the skin is slightly charred and the peel comes off easily. This step is essential for adding a smoky and delicious flavor to the dish. After roasting, let them cool slightly, then peel off the skin and slice them into strips.

2. Cooking the chicken: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until it becomes translucent. The onion will add a sweet and aromatic flavor to the dish. Add the diced chicken breast and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

3. Preparing the sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, add the flour and mix well for 1-2 minutes to incorporate. This will help the sauce become creamier. Add the diluted broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Finalizing the dish: Add the sour cream and mix well. Cook everything for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.

5. Assembling: On a platter, arrange the strips of roasted peppers and pour the chicken sauce over the top. This contrast of colors and flavors will make the dish look spectacular.

Serving suggestion: You can serve this dish warm, sprinkled with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of freshness and color. It pairs wonderfully with rice or mashed potatoes, as well as a green salad for a light and healthy lunch.

Variations: If you want to try a vegetarian version, you can replace the chicken with cooked chickpeas or mushrooms of your choice. You can also add spices like smoked paprika or garlic for a more pronounced flavor.
