"When I was cooking my Louisiana Pepper Chicken recipe, I went to chop the green peppers and they were bad inside. Then I was missing some other ingredients, so I kept improvising and ended up with this instead. DH absolutely loved it and asked me to write down what I did so I could make it again."

I made this tonight and although I messed up on a couple of things, it still turned out great! Next time, I am going to make a lot more of the corn onion mixture because it was so good! Normally I don't like onions like that, but I did this time! I must admit, I didn't try it with the rice and sauce, everyone else did, but the chicken and the corn was so good! I am definately going to make this again! Thank you! Bec

little bit different and very much enjoyed, my husband especially enjoyed this. I added some chopped celery since he has recently decided it is his favourite veggie addition. Good dish, thank you, enjoyed for Susies World Tour

I made the full amount of chicken & doubled the corn. It comes together easily. I forgot the hot sauce at the end - it really needed the zip. Everyone loved it! Made for ZWT9, Mike & the Appliance Killers.

This recipe was a hit. I also halved the chicken with the full amount of gravy. Thanks for a great recipe!
