- 2 bell peppers sliced
- 1 lb bag of green beans steamed or blanched

- In a large skillet or wok over Medium heat add 3 Tbsp of oil. Working in small batches add chicken. Do not overcrowd the pan. Turn chicken often so it cooks evenly. Add more oil if needed. Once chicken is added your desired crispness/tenderness remove and set aside.
