1 cup chicken broth, fat-free, low-sodium

12 oz chicken, breast, boneless, skinless, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 medium red bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced

1. Coat a medium-sized pot with cooking spray and warm over medium heat. Saute a 1/2 cup of onion for two minutes.
