Steps:
- Saute sliced chicken in hot oil until one side is cooked and then add white onion while turning chicken.
- Cook until onions are very soft.
- Toss in red and green peppers, mushrooms and green onion and continue sauteing over med/high heat.
- Stir in Cilantro, garlic powder, ginger, salt and pepper.
- (If you use a very salty soy sauce you might not want to add salt)
- Continue cooking until red and green peppers are soft.
- Once peppers are soft stir in Marsala wine and soy sauce, continue cooking over med/high heat until almost all of the liquid has evaporated and you are left with a thick sauce.
- Pour over a bed of rice and serve.
- NOTE*It is very important to keep cooking until nearly all of the liquid has evaporated because you want the flavor of the soy sauce and wine on the vegetables NOT on the plate in a puddle.
- If you prefer extra sauce for the rice just use more soy sauce and wine but make sure you burn off most of the excess water or your dish will lack flavor and be too liquidy.
- Adding a little extra olive oil will always help to thicken the sauce.
- Enjoy.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into 1-inch pieces. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and quickly.
- Tenderize the chicken: To make the chicken extra tender, you can marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and will also add flavor to the dish.
- Cook the chicken over high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and lock in the juices.
- Stir-fry the chicken in small batches: This will prevent the chicken from overcrowding the wok and will help it to cook evenly.
- Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and tender.
- Use a sauce that complements the chicken and vegetables: There are many different sauces that you can use for stir-fried chicken, such as soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black bean sauce.
- Serve the stir-fried chicken immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried chicken is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy and delicious way to enjoy chicken. By following these tips, you can make sure that your stir-fried chicken turns out perfect every time.
