• 2 cups bell peppers, diced

• 2 cups red onion, diced

Next, heat your grill to a medium heat and butter your grill pan.

Now add the chicken, bell peppers, and red onions to the pan. Grill for about 10 minutes on each side. Be sure to check up on your veggies as they cook, stirring them every now and then, so they are all nicely blackened.

Once done, take everything off the grill and serve underneath a dollop of melted butter.
