Simmer chicken breasts in enough water to cover. Cook 10 to 18 minutes until no pink remains. Drain, remove skin and cube chicken, set aside.
Melt butter in medium saucepan. Saute onion and peppers until softened. Stir in the flour. Cook for a minute. Add salt, oregano, milk and broth slowly while stirring. Continue stirring and cook until mixture has thickened. Add the cubed chicken. Pour into a round baking dish.
