“I teach a college humanities class one night a week and rely on quick recipes to make dinner for my family before I race out the door,” writes Erin Mylroie of St. George, Utah. “This has been a favorite that everyone adores. To save even more time, I often buy chopped onion and bell peppers from the produce section.”

This was really good. I served it over linguine. I would make this again. This would also be delicious using shrimp instead of chicken.

Made this for a luncheon today and it was a big hit! Served it with whole grain angel hair pasta. The kitchen smelled wonderful, too. The recipe is easy, but you could also buy a bag of frozenchopped sweet peppers/onions to make it even easier. I will be making this regularly!

Great recipe - I took the chicken out of the skillet, put penne pasta in the skillet and tossed. Put in casserole dish, added chicken and then covered with some shredded mozzerella - stuck it in the oven for a few minutes - terrific!!
