    marie, This is excellent. I used a non-stick skillet to cook the chicken and therefore did not add the extra oil when cooking the onion and peppers. The directions are easy to follow and the results are outstanding. Something I will keep in my cookbook.

    Excellent - beautiful as well as delicious. I was surprised at how much rich flavor the chicken had biven the small list of seasonings - but this was really quite wonderful. Easy to follow instructions and enjoyed by all tasters.
