Chicken With Sweet Peppers

My great recipe packet. I am taking this recipe from one of the recipe cards. Card 17. Simmered with red or green pepper, this eye-catching chicken dish is noteable for its sour cream sauce enlivened by a hint of tangy blue cheese. The savory sauce is delicious with egg noodles or fluffy rice.
