• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by dicing the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and season it with salt and half of the black pepper.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves. Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips, and cut the onion into thin slices.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced onion and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the remaining black pepper, soy sauce, and chicken broth.

Step 8

Stir all ingredients well, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are well coated with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken.

Step 10

Serve hot, and enjoy your flavorful, low-carb pepper chicken!
