  • Reviews

  • “Hey! I am so glad that I was finally able to make this! It was the very first recipe I ever added to my cookbook! Well, I chose a good one because this was delicious, and so easy to prepare. I used 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. For the parsley, I had to use dried parsley flakes (a proportional amount). Since I did use the “maximum” amount of chicken, I put a little bit more of each seasoning and spice into the dish so to not lose any flavor. To cut cooking time, I cooked the green and red peppers in 1/4 cup or so of chicken broth in the microwave for a little while. When everything was finished, I sprinkled the chicken breasts with some salt and pepper. It was great! Thank you so much for sharing!”
