Chicken and green peppers in creamy sauce and peanut salad

Happy Father's Day!

For our special father's day lunch, I made chicken with green peppers. Chicken and green peppers are awesome together and one of my favorite combinations. These days I make all my chicken dishes in my cast iron pot. The difference in taste and flavor is amazing.
