Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken pieces with soy sauce and rice vinegar.
  2. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  6. Cook chicken 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  8. Add remaining oil to the skillet.
  9. Sauté broccoli and red bell pepper 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
