I planned to make these, so I had the ingredients on hand. I had bought onions and two bell peppers at the store. I happened to get one green and one red because it’s a bit prettier. I boiled a 4-pack of chicken for a meal last week and used two of them. I froze the other two, and I took them out last night, so they’d be thawed in time for dinner.

I put the following into a hot wok pan:

- 2 bell peppers (chopped into 1-inch pieces);
- 1 very large onion (equivalent of the 2 peppers, chopped into 1-inch pieces);
- 1 Tbsp (added after about 5 minutes of cooking, so I wouldn’t scorch the oil.

It took about a total of 10 minutes to get the peppers and onions cooked good enough to eat. I proceeded to cut up the chicken in to 1-inch pieces and added them to the hot veggies. I shook on a lot of Worcestershire sauce, a bit of soy sauce, and a bit of mustard.

Time to serve it up! On the table I set out some large tortillas and small tortillas. I put out some sour cream and salsa. I skipped the cheese this time. I love love love cheese, but by keeping it off the table for this meal, we’ll save on both calories and money.

We made this even better by serving it with corn on the cob. These healthy dinners are great!
