"This is a quick and easy meal suitable for the South Beach diet on a week night. The amount of spices listed here give the chicken a very mild kick. This is not a hot dish, although you could make it so if you wished."

I have made this a couple of times. We really like it. We omit the onion and cube the chicken and peppers. We love it. It is healthy and a "whole foods" meal that my whole family will eat. Thank you for posting Pixie.

This was a great recipe. I served it with low carb tortillas, shredded cheddar and sour cream. If I had planned ahead, I would have made some guacamole, but didn't get avocados at the store. I did double the spices since other reviewers said it wasn't very spicy. I thought it was fine with the spices doubled.

We thought this was good, but not great. It just seems to be a little lacking in flavor. We ate ours in a wrap.

Yum! Not as spicy as I was thinking it would be, but good none the less.

This was exactly what I was looking for today! I wanted something quick, spicy, low fat, diabetic friendly, and warm, that I could put into a wheat tortilla for lunch for the client I cook for. Your recipe fit the bill perfectly and it was delicious! Thanks so much for a great recipe!

This is me on the beach (at sunrise) from a southern vacation a few years ago. After loosing more than 50 pounds I am not so shy about bathing suits, beaches or pools as I used to be.
