1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 thighs
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Half sweet red or yellow pepper, cubed
3/4 cup (175 mL) chicken stock
1/4 cup (50 mL) ketchup

2 tsp (10 mL) granulated sugar
1 tsp (5 mL) soy sauce
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
2 tsp (10 mL) cornstarch

Preparation:
In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken all over. Remove to plate. Drain off fat in pan; reduce heat to medium. Fry onion, garlic and red pepper, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 4 minutes.
