Directions:
In a large skillet, heat oil. Saute peppers and onions until they begin to soften. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add cubed chicken to skillet and brown lightly. Add garlic and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat slightly and saute, covered, for 1 to 2 minutes, until garlic is golden brown.

Using a wooden spoon, add lemon juice, stirring to break up particles on bottom of skillet (deglazing). Add butter/margarine, stirring and blending well into the sauce. Return peppers and onion to skillet, stir all together and add parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Personal Notes:
It's not in the recipe, but it's good to marinade the cubed chicken overnight in a butter, garlic, salt, and pepper mixture.

I also added my own preferred seasonings for more flavor, and served over pasta.

For more spice add crushed red pepper flakes.
