Ingredients:

• 4 to 6 chicken breast halves

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a pan large enough hold the chicken in a single layer. Wash chicken and pat dry. Place in prepared baking dish.

Combine the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and olive oil. Top each chicken breast with the onion mixture. Bake for 20 minutes.
