This was good. I used red bell pepper (no cubanelles in Phoenix) and subbed a little cayenne and paprika for the Turkish red pepper. I upped the cheese to about 3/4 cup and threw in some spinach at the end just to increase the nutritional value. I finished on the stove rather than the oven - who uses the oven in Arizona in July?!? Served over pasta.

I made a vegan version of this using "Quorn naked chic'n cutlets" and that was the only modification. The "Quorn Vegan chicken cutlets" have the same taste and texture as chicken, you'd swear it was real chicken!<br/><br/>As for the rest of this recipe..... My knees buckled that's how good it was. I mean, what's not to love? You've got all the best and healthiest veggies. Red Bell peppers are very high in vitamins A & C. THIS, I will be making over and over! Thanks Diner!

Great chicken recipe! I don't care for onions so just used a little extra mushrooms and peppers, otherwise made as directed. I used crushed red pepper flakes and was generous with the amount - this had a great little kick! Gotta love a tasty recipe that can be made with ingredients I always have on hand - thanks for sharing the recipe!
