Used three chicken breasts, one red pepper, one sweet onion, and 1/2 c water instead of 1/4 c. I served it with costa rican style beans and rice and cubed avacado topped with lime. Fresh cilantro on top was divine. Thanks for posting.

Very easy to throw together on a night you need something fast but still want something low in calories and delicious!

For taste this dish is easily at least a 4, but I am adding in that extra star for ease of preperation! My store was out of red peppers so I used an orange in it's place and left everything else as written. I will definitely make this one again!
