My suggestions: don’t chop/dice the onion and peppers, instead cut them into strips. Brown the chicken lightly prior to everything. People sensitive to lactose can usually do fine with the yogurt as long as it’s been well cultured (it’s not a lot overall). And folks who are dairy allergic, you know you’ve gotta do your own homework.
I used lactose free yogurt......but it curdled even though the heat was on minimum.
For those highly lactose sensitive, does anyone have a suggestion of a substitution for the yogurt? This would apply to so many other recipes as well, I hope. Thanks in advance.
