I love to serve this over orzo. If you've never had orzo you should really give it a try! Its a small pasta - just slightly larger than a grain of rice - shaped like a grain of rice. Its a fun way to change things up every once in a while. You could also serve it over another pasta, like linguine (which I believe is what the original recipe called for). You could also serve it over rice or serve it alone with a side or cornbread or biscuits.
Look at that yummy goodness! The peppers and onions are about to go over the chicken!
