  • In a large non-stick skillet, soften peppers for about 3 minutes in 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of oil. Set aside on a plate.
  • In a bowl, season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add flour and toss until well coated. Remove any excess flour. In the same skillet, brown half of the chicken at a time in remaining oil (150 ml/2/3 cup), making sure to always have about 1-cm (3/4-inch) of oil to fry chicken. Add oil, if needed. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Repeat with remaining chicken. Discard oil.
  • In the same skillet, heat sauce. Add chicken and toss to coat well. Sprinkle with green onions.
  • Serve with rice and stir-fried vegetables such as bok choy or Chinese cabbage.
