OMG - so good. I seared the chicken in a cast iron skillet and finished it in the oven. Then I added the “raw” sauce to the cast iron pan and mixed it with the chicken juices. Wow! Can’t wait for leftovers!

Oh So Delicious! Used green peppers due to an abundant garden supply. I would make it again with green peppers. A different tasting recipe which I will make again and hope to share with others.
