Oil

Heat a flat frying pan or skillet & put a tbsp of oil. Put in the chicken cubes, a pinch of salt & some crushed black pepper & fry till browned & 3/4th done. Remove & set aside.

Heat some more oil in the same pan if required. Add the garlic rounds & fry till fragrant. Next, put in the jalapeno & fry for 30 secs. Put in the onions & green bell pepper & fry till crisp (do not brown the onions). Add the chicken, soya sauce & the all in one sauce & mix well for 2 mins. Add 1/4th cup chicken broth & some more crushed black pepper & bring to a mild boil. Add the cornstarch broth mixture & stir well. Let cook till the sauce thickens. Remove from flame & garnish with chopped scallions.

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Note : I used canned chicken broth in this recipe, so did not require to add any extra salt. The canned broth & the sauces provided enough salt for this recipe.
