med. chicken, cut into serving pieces by the butcher
1/2 c. frozen chopped bell pepper (or 1/4 c. dehydrated bell pepper)
1/2 bottle regular or low calorie french dressing (about 4 oz.)

Rinse chicken in cold water and set aside. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients, add chicken and coat all pieces well.
