  1. Stir all the ingredients together over medium heat until smooth and hot. Remove from the heat and pour over the chicken and vegetables. Reserve the extra and put it on the table for people to add more to their individual servings if desired.
Recipe Notes

The peppers release quite a bit of liquid during baking. It is best to remove them from the pan and serve them in another dish so that they are not too watery.
