VEGGIE CHICKEN CREOLE

Veggie Chicken Creole image

I ladle this vegetable-packed chicken dish over jasmine rice. It's a long-grain rice that's not as sticky as most, but any cooked rice, including brown, works here.-Virginia Crowell, Lyons, Oregon

2 medium green peppers, chopped

Stir in the tomatoes, broth, oregano, lemon juice, basil and spices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5-10 minutes or until slightly thickened and flavors are blended., Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, saute chicken in remaining oil in batches until no longer pink.
