How To Make chinese style lemon chicken!

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet on med.-high. Add chicken and cook 5-6 minutes, depending on size of strips, until cooked through and turning a few times.

Step 2

Add pea pods and pepper strips. Cook tossing a few minutes. You want them tender crisp.
Step 3

Combine Jello, cornstarch in a small bowl. Add broth balsamic vinegar and garlic. Stir well. Add to skillet, reduce heat to medium and stirring cook until sauce thickens. Serve over rice.
Step 4

NOTE: White Balsamic Vinegar comes in small bottles and the best know brand is: ALESSI. It is not clear as one would expect, but sort of a light caramel color. It also comes in several flavors, like pear fig raspberry and is delicious just on its own sprinkled on salad greens. If you don't want to invest in it USE RICE WINE VINEGAR AND A PINCH OF SUGAR INSTEAD.
