Note

* Ensure bell peppers are fully seeded and cut into uniform 1-inch strips for even cooking.

** Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor; clean them gently with a damp cloth rather than washing under water to avoid sogginess.

If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, sear the chicken in a regular skillet and transfer it to a separate baking dish. Transfer the vegetables as well.

For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
