sweet and spicy chicken stir fry

this past sunday I decided to make sweet n spicy chicken.. i was inspired by this recipe here..  it was so yummy.. i also made pork dumplings, fried rice and shrimp puffs!! boy was i in the kitchen all day.. i totally broke my rules but believe you me it was so worth it!! the picture isn't very good, by the time I got done making everything, pete and shell were so ready to eat so waiting for me to set up a nice picture was not an option! but the flavors were spot on.. really nice..

2 cups assorted bell peppers, chopped

1 onion, chopped

1 cup snow peas, chopped
