Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce with 2 tbsp water; set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the sliced onion, 2 celery stalks (cut into 1/2-inch pieces), and 1 red bell pepper (sliced). Stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until everything is coated and the sauce thickens slightly. Serve hot.
