Sauté chicken in vegetable or canola oil over medium high heat until chicken is done, about 7-9 minutes, depending how large your diced chicken is but needs to be an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove chicken and set aside

Next sauté vegetables until tender crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Now add the sauce to pan and make a cornstarch slurry with 2 TB corn starch and 2 TB water and boil until thickened.
