Recipe by Di This has been a family favorite of ours for many years and is a sure way to make sure my teenage girls make it to the dinner table. Worth any prep time! Serve over rice. If your family are hearty eaters like mine, this will only serve 4.

1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian salad dressing mix (such as Good Seasons®)

1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped

Cover and simmer on low heat until cheese is melted and chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving.
