Spicy Chicken Strips Stir-Fried Recipe

Poultry is very popular in my kitchen. The recent discovery include ways to cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Besides grilling, baking and using chicken breasts for chicken broth, I like to stir fry them in strips.

I have been enjoying the tremendous versatility that chicken meat, white or dark bring to the table. This dish consists of chicken breast strips and mainly bell peppers. You can make it spicy or opt for mild depending on your family's preference.

1/4 cup chopped 1/2 inch green onion

Eating chicken instead of beef has helped me loose a few pounds. Those safe diet pills still come in handy once in a while, it helps curve the appetize.
