Italian Chicken and Peppers Recipe

Italian Chicken and Peppers Recipe Rating 5

“I put this recipe together one day when I had leftover peppers and wanted something easy with tomatoes. To my delight, the taste reminds me of pizza—something I love but can no longer eat! It’s great with steamed broccoli.” Brenda Nolen - Simpsonville, SC

Tip

Storing Pasta

I store all my pastas in canning jars rather than the opened boxes. The pasta stays fresher, and the jars stack nicely, too, conserving pantry space. When I’m preparing my grocery list, I can see what I need at a glance. —Laurie S., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
