Beautiful enough for special spring dinners, yet easy enough for
weekday suppers, these chicken breasts are bursting with the fresh
flavors of simple ingredients. This recipe can also be doubled if you
have extra guests.

Remove one-quarter of each sweet pepper; cut out a
few decorative shapes and set aside for garnishing. Cut remaining
sweet peppers into thin strips. In nonstick skillet, melt butter over
medium heat; cook sweet pepper strips and 1/4 tsp each of the salt,
pepper and thyme, stirring, for 3 minutes. Set aside. Pat chicken
breasts dry. Place, skin side up, between 2 sheets of waxed paper;
pound lightly to 1/4-inch thickness. Turn chicken over; sprinkle
skinless sides with 1/4 tsp each of the salt and pepper. Place sweet
pepper strips crosswise on short end of each chicken breast; roll up
and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with remaining salt, pepper and
thyme. In same skillet, brown chicken lightly on all sides. Transfer
to baking sheet; bake in 375F 190C oven ;for 10-15 ;minutes or until
chicken is no longer pink inside. Meanwhile, in skillet, bring
chicken stock to boil, stirring to scrape up any ;brown bits. Stir in
Dijon mustard; cook, stirring, over medium heat for about 2 minutes
or until slightly reduced. Spoon over chicken. Garnish with sweet
pepper cutouts.
