Submitted by Susie 2

"This is a vegetarian version of my similar recipe using chicken breast instead of peppers. You can vary the ingredients to taste, this is just a rough guide as I don't normally measure anything out. I usually serve it with cous cous and a green leaf salad and it's delicious!"
