1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup kraft asian dressing

2 large yellow bell peppers, sliced

1 red onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch piece of ginger, grated

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Preparation Process:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with half of the kraft asian dressing. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
2. Prep the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, prep the vegetables. Slice the bell peppers and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining kraft asian dressing, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, and ginger. Stir to combine. Add the bell peppers and red onion and cook until softened and slightly caramelized.
5. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss with the vegetables until well coated. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Total Time: 45 minutes (including marinating time)

Serving Ideas:

Elevated dinner: Serve the Golden Dragon’s Embrace over a bed of jasmine rice, accompanied by a side of steamed bok choy.

Weeknight Stir-Fry: Toss the dish with your favorite stir-fry noodles, such as lo mein or pad Thai.

Flavorful Bowl: Create a vibrant bowl by layering the dish over a bed of mixed greens and topping with a drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
