  • 1 green pepper cut into chunks

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees.
  • Cut chicken into 1 inch chunks, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Dip each piece of chicken in corn starch, then in egg.
  • In a skillet, heat vegetable oil to medium-high heat and brown each piece of chicken on both sides.
