"This is a great way to use sweet peppers from your garden. Although it can be eaten as is, we very often will serve it over thin pasta such as capellini. Very colorful with a marvellous flavor!"

I made this for dinner tonight with a few changes. I used red and green peppers because that is what we had in the garden. We also have some vegetarians in our family. So I skipped the first steps of cooking the chicken. Instead I used a bag of Quorn tenders and they worked wonderfully. I also had to add an additional 1/2 cup of chicken stock. I served it over low carb angel hair pasta. We all thought that this was very good. I would make this again.
