Expert Tips
- You can use an instant-read thermometer which is a very useful tool to check the internal temperature of the chicken.
- To cook the bell peppers and the onions evenly cut them into small same size pieces.
- If you want to enjoy it on your own then you can enjoy it with steam broccoli which is a very healthy choice.
- You can use chicken breasts or boneless thighs but I like bone-in chicken which gives moist and juicy chicken with extra flavor to the dish.
Leftovers Treatment
Store
If you want to store just ensure to put chicken peppers in an air-tight pot mostly I use an air-tight glass jar which is easy to clean.
Freeze
You can freeze this dish but I recommend you not to freeze because the chicken is not crispy after freezing as it was before at the time of cooking.
Reheating
Air fryer or the oven is the best choice for reheating that keeps your chicken tender, and skin crispy while onions and peppers give a wonderful taste.
