Precut bell peppers can be found in the meat or produce section of most larger supermarkets making prep time zero.
If you want to use pre-cooked or leftover chicken, just jump to the mushroom sauce and reheat the chicken in the broth for just a few minutes.

You can substitute chicken or vegetable broth for the white wine, if you prefer.

When time is precious, buy pre-cut bell peppers in the meat or produce section of your supermarket.
