Healthy Sesame Chicken Stir Fry

For Valentines day, instead of going out I made a healthier Chinese dinner. I took all of Jeremy and I’s favorites and lightened them up! I am sorry this post is late, but my cell phone had a hard time uploading these pictures. (my camera was dead)

The only downside of making Chinese food is the preparation time. It takes FOREVER. I should have started earlier, having everything ready to just throw in the oven. I learned my lesson for next time.

Moving on to Jeremy’s choice, sesame seed chicken stir fry!

6 oz chicken breast without skin
1 cup snow peas
1 green bell pepper (cut into strips)
1 red bell pepper (cut into strips)
