Summary
Bell peppers provide a rainbow of colors in this attractive stir-fry. The crispness of the peppers and snow peas contrasts with the juicy chunks of chicken, while a traditional stir-fry sauce bathes the dish in Asian flavors of soy, garlic, and ginger. Add brown rice for a meal that rivals your favorite from the Chinese takeout menu, or cauliflower rice for a low carb dinner.

Directions

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, vinegar, soy sauce, gingerroot, garlic, and pepper. Set aside.

  2. Lightly spray a large skillet or wok with cooking spray. Cook the snow peas, green onions, and all the bell peppers over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes, or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate.

  3. In the same skillet, heat the oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center, stirring frequently.

  4. Return the snow pea mixture to the skillet. Stir in the broth mixture. Bring to a boil, still over mediumhigh heat. Boil for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

  5. Put the cornstarch in a small bowl. Add the water, stirring to dissolve the cornstarch. Stir into the chicken mixture. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

    Tasty! We could have added some more veggies & doubled the sauce, but the recipe is a keeper. Easy & quick.
