How to Make Banana Chilli Chicken

- Slice 1 large red bell pepper into thin strips.
- Thinly slice 1-2 fresh chili peppers (adjust to your spice preference) and chop 1 ripe banana into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add the red bell pepper, chili pepper, and banana to the pan with the browned chicken.

- Serve hot and enjoy!
