Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken and Shrimp

    Cut the boneless chicken breast into julienne strips (about 1/4 inch wide). Rinse the bay shrimp under cold water and drain well.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely mince the garlic cloves. Dice the roasted red bell pepper into small pieces. Roughly chop the fresh sweet basil leaves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the julienned chicken to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Peppers

    Add the minced garlic and diced roasted red bell pepper to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the peppers are heated.

  3. 5

    Incorporate the Shrimp

    Add the bay shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until they are pink and opaque.

  4. 6

    Deglaze with White Wine

    Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

  5. 7

    Finish with Basil

    Add the chopped sweet basil leaves to the skillet, stirring them into the sauce. Cook for an additional minute until the basil is wilted.
