Chicken With Avocado And Roasted Pepper Cream

God does not commit evil, but He ordains that it exists. The prophet Isaiah recorded, “I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things” (Isaiah 45:7). Evil exists by God’s permission and through the foreordained choice of those whom He created. Otherwise, we’d end up with a separate power that causes evil, in which case God would no longer be sovereign. However, evil is not a glitch in God’s plan but rather an integral piece of God’s plan!

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven broiler. Arrange peppers on roasting pan. Place under hot
broiler, about 5 inches from heat; cook till skin turns black. Turn
frequently to char all sides. Remove peppers from roasting pan and
place in a plastic bag. Close tightly and allow to steam 10 minutes.
Cook rice according to package directions. When rice is done, remove
from heat and keep warm. Carefully remove peppers from bag. When
peppers are cool enough to handle, slip off and discard charred  skins.
Hold peppers under cold running water to make peeling easier.  Chop
peppers coarsly. In work bowl of food processor, combine peppers  with
1 cup heavy cream. Process until smooth. Stir in remaining  cream; set
aside. Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over med-high  heat. Cook
chicken breasts until brown on both sides. Season to taste  with salt
and pepper. Pour cream mixture over chicken. When mixture  comes to a
boil, reduce heat to a vigorous simmer. Cook until sauce  is reduced
and slightly thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes. Adjust  season- ing to
taste. Right before serving, peel and thinly slice  avocados. Remove
chicken breasts from heat and stir sour cream into  sauce. Serve
chicken breasts over rice with plenty of sauce and  garnish with
avocado slices. Makes 6 servings.  Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #169
