Here's a simple piece of advice to follow when it comes to healthy eating: "Eat the rainbow." This colorful stir-fry with bell peppers, corn, chicken, and green onions is a great way to do it. Instead of chicken breast, use skinless, boneless chicken thighs; they're juicier and contain more vitamins. Serve with brown rice.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, egg white, 1 tablespoon each of rice wine and cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of water, the remaining 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice wine, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper until the salt and sugar dissolve, and set aside.
Place the sauce, vegetables, and chicken near the stove. Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl the wok to coat. Once the oil is hot, use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the bowl, reserving any excess liquid, and add it to the oil. Cook, breaking up the chicken just enough to keep it from clumping, until the pieces are lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. Wipe out the wok if necessary.

Return the wok to medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the white part of the green onion and pepper and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Add the corn and cook, stirring, until tender, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and sauce (stir before adding); stir until the sauce thickens and the vegetables and chicken are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the green onions. Serve the stir-fry with brown rice.
