Sauté the onions until soft, add in the chicken and sauté for 2-3 minutesAdd in the bell peppers and stir to mix well with the chicken and onions. Cover the skillet and allow the ingredients to cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.Tip: depending on your preference for how soft you like the bell peppers, add them to the chicken accordingly. We prefer them somewhat crunchy. So we tend to add them in the last 2-3 minutes of the chicken being cooked throughStir in the cream and allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add in the chilli flakes and stir to combine all the ingredientsTurn off the heat, sprinkle the parsley over the dish and serve warm with your choice of side dish or as a wrap filling!
