"DH loves this since it has intense flavor but not too hot for children. I adapted this recipe from the At Home with Family & friends cookbook from Cornerstone Television. Woody's restaurant in Pittsburgh, PA managed by the Antonelli brothers, make this recipe. Great served with crusty bread, rice, and a salad."

The flavors in this dish just were not our style. It definitely wasn't bad, we just didn't like the combination of flavors Thanks for sharing.

This was simply delicious, thanks for sharing this recipe! DH and I loved the fact that the sauce didn't taste like the regular tomato-based sauces. It was full of flavour and very tasty! It took me more than an hour before the juices were thickened, but it was worth it, the chicken got all the good juicy flavour.

We had an excess of banana peppers growing in our garden and this recipe came up while I was searching for ways to use them up...and I am so glad that it did. This was an easy recipe with delicious results. I am a true wimp when it comes to hot stuff, but I really enjoyed the flavour of this dish. I froze the extras and DH was able to have them for lunch the following week. Great recipe, thanks for sharing :)
