I
got this recipe from my friend Susi when she came over to Ireland last summer. This is a family recipe that she got from her aunt. It's really easy to make and can be used to feed a crowd. The flavours of this dish are enhanced if it's cooked the day before. I love the sweetness of the carrots and peppers and the tenderness of the chicken!!!!! Ummmm!!!! Really tasty!!!!
