Cooking tips

Stir frequently when the heat is high and cover with a lid to maintain the right amount of juice in the pan. If it gets to dry simply add half a glass of water at the time

As a general rule you can keep the heat quite up without a lid when cooking the peppers.

When you add the tomato use a medium fire without the lid

And finally, when you add the chicken, kepp the heat to medium and cover with a lid
