    Loved it! I easily made this for two and used a 12-oz frozen 3-pepper blend. Also, here's a tip for making brown rice: On a Saturday I make a 2-pound bag. When it's done & cool, I portion out into baggies in 1-cup amts. Put them in a freezer bag. When needed, microwave 1 min/baggie! - 9/5/12

    I thought the dish was delish and so did my husband. I baked mine at 350 for 30 minutes instead of grilling though. This is definately going on my list for future meals. - 1/5/10

    Delicious. I cooked it in the oven at 425 for about 25 min. I used brown rice and made my own sweet and sour sauce. Will definitely make again! - 3/7/09

    I thought the total calories was a little high for a chicken dinner dish. I don't think 4 oz of chicken cooked yields 286 calories. - 6/15/14
