1 tb Chopped fresh thyme or 1 dried thyme chopped
1 md Red bell pepper, cored,  -seeded,

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. In a non-stick 8-inch skillet, heat the oil, then add the thyme and chicken breasts. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper over the chicken and cook for 1 minute over medium heat, then turn the chicken over, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook for another minute. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside, retaining the cooking juices in the pan.

4. Spoon half the vegetables into an 8-inch casserole, place the chicken breasts over them in one layer, and cover them with the rest of the vegetables. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

To microcook: cook the casserole on high, covered, for 9 minutes, rotating the casserole after 4-1/2 minutes.
