This was a very tasty, one pot meal that was perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of ingredients worked well together and everyone enjoyed it. Very colorful too, from all the bell peppers. -
This was good and really easy to whip up. Didn't have bell peppers on and. Tossed in half a bag of frozen corn instead of the peppers. Also tossed in a can of diced tomatoes, and skipped the cheese for a healthier dinner. This was good and worked really well for everyone including kids. -
The kids loved it. It was easy and a great use of leftover chicken. I used converted rice, it keeps its texture better than white rice in dishes like this. -
I was stuck in the house with the weather and wanted to make dinner with what was on hand. Had all but red/yellow bell peppers. Added mild banana pepper instead. It was great! What a pleasant surprise meal. I can't wait to experiment with this one.

Super easy and delicious! I was in a 'clean out my pantry and fridge' mode and this recipe really fit the bill. I only had a green pepper so used that plus a can each of corn and chopped tomatoes, both drained. I also added chopped jalepeno slices for heat. This recipe is very forgiving; it would be hard to go wrong. I will definately be making it again. I served it with a little salsa on top, and sour cream might be good on it as well.
