minutes. Stir in the red peppers and chopped tomatoes and cook until most

to a bowl.

tomato paste, and red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to
medium low. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and cook until chicken is
no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Just before chicken is done, return the
vegetables with the freshly chopped herbs to the pan and heat through.
Transfer chicken and vegetables to a serving platter.
