- Add the chicken, peppers and onions in a baking dish (make sure your baking dish isn’t too big or you’ll risk burning the sauce, the dish should hold everything nice and snug) then in a measuring cup or bowl whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce and pour over the chicken and vegetables.
