The Brand Name ingredients I have listed are just what I usually keep on hand; the nutritional info given for this recipe is for these specific brands. However, any brand will do.

Steps:
1. Boil chicken breasts; cut into chunks and set aside. (***Note: The broth left over after the chicken has been boiled can be saved and frozen to use for recipes in the future.***)

4.In a large skillet, heat the chicken broth and 2 teaspoons of garlic on high heat until broth is lightly boiling, add bell pepper, lower heat to medium and simmer until peppers are soft. Drain off about 4 tablespoons of broth, then turn the heat to low and allow to continue cooking.
