Chicken has nice flavor as do the peppers. Took awhile beyond recipe time to cook chicken as the chicken breasts I had were of different sizes. Didn't spend the money on pre sliced peppers as the only place I found them was $10 for more than I needed for the recipe. Sliced my own mix of orange and yellow peppers for a change of pace from the usual red and green.
