Veggies
1

Wash and then chop the peppers and onion into chunks. Set aside in the fridge.

Sauce
2

Combine nomato ketchup, honey, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce substitute, garlic & onion powder in a small saucepan. Turn on heat to medium-low. Whisk the sauce and bring to a slight boil. Put cornstarch and water in a small cup or bowl and whisk into a slurry. Add it to the sauce, whisking for a minute or so, and let simmer until it thickens. Set the sauce aside.

Chicken
3

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towl, then cut it into bite size pieces. Add it to a large bowl, then add the cornstarch. Toss until all the chicken is well coated.

4

Heat 1 TB of oil in a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium heat. When it's warmed add half the chicken. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until it's golden brown and reaches 165° F. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate while you cook the second batch. When it's finished, remove it from the pan and add it to the plate.

5

Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and saute the veggies for 3-4 min. Then add the chicken and the sauce to the skillet and stir until it's evenly combined. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes and remove from heat. Serve with rice or chow mein.
