For this chicken with peppers and onions dish I am using red and yellow bell peppers and red onions. I love the color the red and yellow peppers bring to the dish and I am also a fan of the bold flavor of the red onions. I have made this dish with green bell peppers and sweet yellow onions, so if that is what you prefer, I can attest to the outcome.
Peppers and onions with garlic is a nice combination of sweet, savory, and bold flavors. I love this combination of vegetables and have used this recipe with boneless pork chops and sirloin or London broil steak cut into bit size pieces. If you enjoy other vegetable, add them as well. But just be cautioned, if you are using the red onion, you might not taste every vegetable you add.
