Looks delicious! Though I am picky and don't like dark meat chicken, so I think I'll try this with chicken breasts instead. I pinned the photo, thank you. 🙂

As soon as I saw this heading I thought of the chicken and peppers my Aunt Nacy use to make when we went to visit her in Brooklyn. She always used Italian style hot peppers. I can't remember but they may have been banana peppers.
Boy did I love that dish! I always forget how nicely chicken and peppers "marry" one always think of veal and peppers but not always chicken. Even the rice sounds good, Catherine:)
Thank you so much for sharing, Catherine...
