3/4 cup mushrooms, roughly chopped
3/4 cup bell pepper, roughly chopped

1/4 cup water chestnuts, drained and halved

Cooking Instructions
- Begin by making the sauce. In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir to dissolve. Add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and chili sauce. Mix well.
- Using a wok (or large skillet), prepare Grilled & Ready® chicken according to skillet directions. Remove from pan, set aside and keep warm.
- Spray wok with nonstick spray, place on medium-high heat and add mushrooms, bell pepper, celery, onion, garlic and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook and stir until mostly softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add prepared chicken, water chestnuts and peanuts to vegetables and raise heat to high.
- Stir sauce and add to wok. Add red pepper flakes, cook and stir until chicken is hot and sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
