05 - Add the chopped bell peppers and onion to the chicken on the griddle. Sauté together for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are slightly tender.
06 - Slowly pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced to the desired consistency and the chicken is fully cooked.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Ensure to marinate the chicken for accurate absorption of flavor before cooking.
02 - Maintain medium-low heat to prevent sauce from burning.
