That is so beautiful and looks delicious!
I wanna try this, it sounds yummy:)))
very nice...may bago na namang luto sa chicken. thank you Ang Sarap!
Looks delicious!
The only pimientos I've ever seen here are the jarred kind of stuffed in olives. I'd like to try it with the orange bell peppers though - I'm a big fan of creamy sauces and peppers.
That a casserole filled with comforting flavors!
I never think about pimentos except as a stuffing for green olives. I love the way you've used them in this dish. Now I'm wanting to find some pimentos. Love the creamy sauce. Lots of flavors in this dish!
Wow, the creaminess comes from evaporated milk instead of cream - that would give it such a wonderful taste.
