How to Make Chicken Stir-Fry with Snow Peas and Bell Pepper
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.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, vinegar, soy sauce, gingerroot, garlic, and pepper. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
