Method
- Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).
- Combine onion, capsicum and canned beans in a large ovenproof dish.

Variations

Shouldn't take that long if your chicken is chopped like it says?

This will take a lot longer in the oven then it says. I think it should say to pan fry the chicken and veg before putting it in the oven as it took an hour and 15 mins to cook!
