After that, add the chicken and cook it for a further 4 minutes or so. That add the capsicum and continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes or so.

Hints:
It's almost common knowledge that Kaffir lime leaves are quite tough leaves with a wonderful aroma and flavour. Because of their toughness, however, it is kind of necessary to shred them as finely as you can. Fold the leaves in half down their spines and after that shred finely with a sharp knife.
Variation:
You can use asparagus instead of capsicum, and some mint or some basil instead of coriander.
