I don't like chicken breast very much, because it's a little dry for my taste. However, chicken breast with bell pepper is a pretty tasty dish and the dryness of the breast disappears.

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.
