Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the chicken breast into strips, and chop the red onion, bell pepper, and tomato into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, and chopped tomato. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cilantro

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
