Chicken and Pepper Saute

I love onions, peppers, & garlic together & while I was making this, I found myself intoxicated by the smell. Not to mention, the chicken is slightly battered. Combine those two aspects and you have to be what I consider a delicious lunch dish. And low calorie! With HUGE servings!
