Introduction

This is similar to what they make at California Pizza Kitchen. I cook the peppers more than they do and I make my own pasta for it. I always double the recipe because it's so good I want leftovers. Allow plenty of time for reducing the stock mixture. It's a great dinner to have for company. This is similar to what they make at California Pizza Kitchen.

Saute onion and peppers in 1 T. butter in a medium-sized skillet, stirring occasionally. Pour soy sauce over chicken and set aside for at least 5 minutes.
