This recipe is fabulous!! I wasn't sure at first, I thought it would taste too peanut buttery, but it was wonderful. I even substituted whole grain pasta and it was great. I will definitely make this again and recommend it to my friends and family.

AWESOME! We loved this and will absolutely make it again. I was shocked as to how delicious it really was! I used fresh peppers instead of frozen ones, as that is what we prefer and it worked wonderfully. The only thing I would do differently is cut the peppers and chicken into smaller pieces next time. This is going into the menu rotation at our house!
