Green chilli chicken

I decided it was high time I experimented again in the kitchen and spotted some green chilli that needed used up and had some chicken and several other things on hand so I threw together this tasty little dish. Rob really loved this too but mainly because I kept the veg to myself and gave him more of the chicken.

I've sent this recipe off to Sangeeth for the Eat Healthy - Protein Rich contest.
