Instructions
- First prepare the sauce. Add sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion salt, and ketchup to a medium sauce pan. Stir and bring to a boil. In a small bowl whisk together the 1 tablespoon corn starch and cold water until dissolved. Add to sauce pan and stir until thickened, then reduce to low heat.
- Add chicken pieces and corn starch to a large ziplock bag. Seal and shake to coat chicken. Drizzle a large pan or skillet with oil. Add coated chicken. Saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add peppers and onions. Continue to saute over medium heat until chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Add sauce to chicken and peppers. Stir to coat well. Serve warm with cooked rice if desired.
Notes
- *If you don't have onion salt, use garlic salt instead of garlic powder, and use onion powder instead of garlic salt. *If you don't mind a slightly less-healthy version and looooove sauce, you can double the sauce recipe.
