- If baking, rub some oil on your bell peppers (capsicums) and place in a sheet pan in a preheated hot oven and bake for 20 min at 440°F – 230°C.
- Once cooked there should be some black on them, cover with a cloth and leave to rest until cool.
- Once cool enough to handle, remove stalks with seeds and peel off the blistered skin. Slice into strips.
- Add the chicken to a baking dish along with the bell pepper strips. Mix well and bake for 30 min at 350°F – 180°C.
