I made this for dinner and it was a big hit. I used 2 lb chicken instead of 1 lb because Teenage Boys. It took about 30 minutes for the chicken to fully cook, but I had the breasts all up against each other on the pan. Next time I will definitely spread them out and have some the veggies between them to allow them to cook faster. Funny enough, when the meal was over we had about 1 lb of leftover chicken but the veggies were completely gone! The boys said they loved the peppers and mushrooms.
