The tomatoes with chilies added a really nice kick in this recipe! I did make some changes which I think really enhanced the recipe. I put the listed herbs into the sauce as it was cooking so that the flavors of the dried herbs could be released. Also, I sprinkled additional of all the herbs listed (plus some coarse salt and pepper) on the chicken before cooking as a crust to seal in the moisture. The chicken came out so tender and flavorful! Finally, I would recommend cutting back the oil and butter used for frying the chicken to 1 tbsp. of each. I had way too much leftover after cooking.

My husband loved this (and he isn't particularly fond of pasta) because he thought it tasted somewhat similar to fajitas (I'm guessing because of the peppers).

My food critics both went back for seconds on this one! I added carrots & onions and cooked the chicken in the sauce instead of using the extra oil and butter. Also used italian tomatoes instead of the green chili style as we've had lots of spicy food lately and needed a break! I'm looking forward to trying it with spice another time though. Love, love, love it! Thanks!!! Update - just had leftovers for dinner.

Fabulous!! It made sense to season during the cooking process, so I combined all the dry spices into a little bowl and sprinkled half into the sauce while it cooked and the other half over the chicken as it cooked. I also added fresh onion to the peppers because we love onion. We loved the flavors, and the green chiles gave it just the right amount of kick! We'll definitely make this again~

Great, healthy recipe. The only problem with the recipe as it is written is that it needs more veggies! (like zucchini, broccoli, and a little bit of onion). I suggest using fresh basil, too. Some other recommendations: Instead of chicken (and the butter mixture) I used andouille chicken sausage (that I cooked prior). Add some chili paste or red pepper flakes for a kick.

This was a fun and easy way to have this favorite... I added a golden bell pepper, half a package of baby-Bella sliced mushrooms, and half of a chopped onion. Quite a bit more garlic too! But that's just because I'm addicted to garlic I think! Next time I will not add all of the juice from the canned tomato's, as it's too much liquid, which I in turn simmered longer to cook off, causing all of the veggie's to get "Minnesota-mushy". Tasted great though!!

This was an excellent dish. I made a few changes, I only use 1/2 of each of the peppers and I added, 1 bunch of broccoli, 1/4 piece of squash, and 1/4 piece of zucchini all sliced thin. I added the spices into the tomato mixture so it can cook altogether for the ten minutes. I will make this again.
