By: DANKA606 
"I would always order it in the Chinese restaurants it's called the 'Happy Family'. It is a delicious chicken and vegetable stir-fry. Now I do this at home using my indoor grill."

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cubed
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cubed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can baby corn, drained
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat an indoor grill, and coat with cooking spray. Place the chicken strips on the grill, and cook for about 7 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly, then cut into cubes.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the onion rings in the skillet, and cook for a few minutes. Add the red and yellow pepper, baby corn, and the stir-fry vegetables. Increase the heat to medium-high; cook and stir for about 15 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in the sugar and salt. Stir in the chicken. Dissolve the cornstarch in water, and pour into the skillet along with the soy sauce. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens.
