This was really tasty. I omitted the green peppers for personal preference and used red pepper instead - I find them to be milder. This one is a keeper!

We all liked this and it was easy to make. I used diced tomatoes w/Italian seasoning, instead of the garlic type. Also threw in a diced zucchini and some leftover fresh spinach that I had on hand.And I used a pack of chicken tenderloins, instead of breast meat. No leftovers with this one! Thanks!
