  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped

  3. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned.

For optimal flavor, consider marinating the chicken in soy sauce for about 30 minutes before cooking. You can also add cashews or almonds for extra crunch.
