- 3 1/2 ounces diced smoked bacon
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
- 1 handful julienned carrot strips

Add the red bell pepper, carrots, and bean sprouts and cook for another minute, then add the cooked chicken, and stir well to combine.

Cook’s Note
You could also add 6 ounces raw Tiger prawns (shrimp), shelled, and deveined. Add them to the pan, and cook for 1 minute, or until they start to turn pink, right before you cook the bacon.
