- It is important to slice the peppers thinly so that they can cook evenly in the casserole. You can also finely chop or dice them if you prefer.
- You can cut the chicken in half, chunks, or use other cuts of chicken in lieu of full chicken breasts to make serving easier. Cooking time may be changed.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to a month.
