Ingredients

Slurry

Sauce

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced

Chicken and Vegetables

• 1 pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Here's how to make it:

3. Put the cornstarch in a plastic zipper bag. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and shake to coat. 
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes. Remove to a plate. 
5. Add the red and green bell pepper and onion. Cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan.
6. Add the sauce and cook for about 2 minutes or until thickened. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
