SUPER! The chopping is a bit time consuming, but that's only because I lent a friend my food processor! :) The chicken was tasty and the pepper/tomato combo was awesome. Will definately be making this again...very impressive! Just re-started my diet and this sure kicked it off right! I really like that all the different parts (chicken, pepper/tomato mixture and greens) can be kept in separate containers, so this can keep in the frige for a few days and provide me with stellar lunches on multiple occasions!
