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.
