This was a good quick week-night dinner, although I left out the chilli peppers it was a little spicy for us. Next time I will probably leave out the red peppers and then it will be perfect for us.

I made this recipe last night but left out the water chestnuts by mistake. My family loved it. Next time, I'll add the water chestnuts but with change nothing else. This is a quick and easy recipe.
