1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3-inch strips
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 cup 2x1/2-inch red bell pepper strips
1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 teaspoons Equal® for Recipes
or 6 packets Equal® sweetener

Heat oil in wok or skillet. Add chicken; cook until chicken is no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add water chestnuts, pepper and onion to wok; cook until vegetables are tender, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Combine cornstarch, soy sauce and vinegar in small bowl; stir to dissolve cornstarch. Add pineapple with juice, ginger and salt. Add to vegetable mixture; cook until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in Equal®. Add pea pods and chicken; cook until pea pods and chicken are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Note: You can use Stevia as a herbal substitute for Nutrasweet. You can also use regular sugar. 1 packet of equal = 2 teaspoons of sugar.
