Cut chicken breasts crosswise into 1-inch slices. Heat a well-oiled skillet or wok over medium high heat, add chicken strips and cook until they turn white, about 5 minutes.

Notes:
You can make this an Asian meal with rice and a sliced cucumber salad in a Thai-style dressing (1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 cup vinegar and 2 tablespoons soy sauce). The taste and scent of sliced oranges for dessert will leave you in a mellow after-dinner mood.
