1 cup cooking oil
2 onions, finely chopped

In large plastic bag, mix together flour, 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper; add chicken, one piece at a time, shaking to coat.

In large fry pan, place oil and heat to medium temperature. Add chicken and cook, turning, about 15 minutes or until brown on all sides. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.

In same fry pan, place onions, green pepper and garlic; stir-fry about 5 minutes, or until onion is golden brown.
