Chicken Red Pepper Saute for Two image

A very simple recipe to serve over rice. Although peppers are in season in summer, I can also see making this for Valentine's Day since it is red & white! From Taste of Home's Quick Cooking (July/August 1999)

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup chicken broth, divided
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 sweet red pepper, julienned
green onions (optional) or fresh chives, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir the cornstarch, 1/4 cup of broth, garlic and lemon pepper together until smooth; add the chicken strips and toss to coat.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken mixture and remaining broth; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Add red pepper strips; cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink and the peppers are crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes. (During this time, I added a little water to the pan because I was afraid it was going to cook dry. It worked out well, and produced a nice sauce.).
  • Garnish with green onions or chives.
