Stir-Fried Chicken With Pineapple and Peppers

SUBMITTED BY: USA WEEKEND columnist Jean Carper PHOTO BY: gapch1026

"Here's an easy way to get low-fat protein (in the chicken breast) and lots of vitamins (in the scallions, peppers and pineapple). Plus, the dab of fresh ginger soothes stomachs and fights inflammation and blood clots."
