Directions
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add in the ground chicken and use a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Cook until chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Add the carrot, red bell pepper, and water chestnuts to the pan. Stir well and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
