Sweet and Sour Chicken
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1-1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1 T. water
2 tsp. canola oil, divided
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 4 oz. each), cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium red bell peppers, slice (about 2 cups)
