Kick-off BBQ season with this zesty new recipe. With the sweetness of peppers, tang of BBQ sauce, and crispy crunch of Gimme's Seaweed Snacks, you've got a trifecta of taste!

Ingredients

BBQ Chicken

1-1¼ pound chicken breast

½ teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon oil, we used avocado oil

¾ cup your favorite BBQ sauce

¼ cup water

To Assemble

8-10 mini sweet peppers, halved lengthwise

1 pack Gimme Roasted Seaweed Snacks, Sea Salt

Cheese, we used crumbled cotija

Chives, chopped

Sweet pepper, minced, optional

Instructions

1. Season chicken with sea salt on both sides.

2. In a medium-large pan with tightly fitting lid, heat pan until hot over medium-high heat.

3. Add oil and coat the bottom of the pan. Place chicken in pan and cook until golden, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and repeat.

4. Reduce heat to medium-low, then add BBQ sauce and water on top of chicken. Flip chicken to coat then cover and let cook 5 minutes.

5. Flip chicken over, re-cover with lid, and let cook another 5 minutes until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 160-165°F.

6. Remove chicken from pan and let rest on cutting board 5-10 minutes.

7. Meanwhile, reduce heat to low and let BBQ sauce mix continue simmering to thicken. Remove from heat when the sauce coats a spoon.

8. Shred chicken with two forks then add it back to pan with sauce and stir to coat.

9. Fill each half pepper with about 1 ounce of shredded chicken.

10. Serve each stuffed pepper on top of a Gimme Roasted Seaweed Snack then garnish with cheese, chives, and optional sweet pepper “confetti”!
