2 cups onions diced
2 medium red bell peppers diced
2 medium chicken breasts, without skin

Add shredded chicken (or garbanzo beans) and rest of seasonings and cook until all vegetables are completely done, about 15 minutes. Salt to taste.
Serve on top of polenta. Dish will keep in refrigerator for up to 4 days if packed in airtight containers.
