Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Chicken w/ Apples and Sage

I found this recipe in the new Dieter's Edition of Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. It turned out really good and is safe for IBS without any modifications. Just be sure to fully cook the sweet pepper to soften the skin. It will be much more tolerable this way. I suggest serving a plain baked potato along with it to add some more soluble fiber.
ENJOY!! I did.
