Quick and easy soy chicken

This is one of my favourite easy-to-make healthy chicken recipes. No deep-frying, no added salt. I’ve used chicken breast for this recipe. You can use chicken pieces with bones as well. They come out softer than the boneless ones. The onions and the bell peppers add to the crunchiness and the nutritive value of the dish.
