This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. The chicken was tender and the veggies were cooked perfectly.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the veggies were good. The sauce was a bit bland, but overall it was a decent meal.

This was a quick and easy meal to make. The chicken and veggies cooked evenly, and the sauce was flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was flavorful and the sauce was creamy and cheesy. I would definitely make this again, but I might use a different vegetable instead of bell peppers.
