This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll try making it again with less peppers next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken in the fridge and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of citrus, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and the sauce was tangy and flavorful.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used a variety of peppers, including red, yellow, and orange, and the sauce was full of flavor.
