-
In a small bowl, whisk together the dry sherry, soy sauce, ginger, garlic powder, dry mustard, chili powder, pepper, oregano, sage, thyme, cloves, cinnamon, salt, sugar, and flour until well combined. Set aside.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a stir-fry pan or skillet over high heat. Add the chopped onion and diced green pepper. Stir-fry until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Remove the softened vegetables from the pan and set aside on a plate.
-
Add the remaining oil to the hot pan. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 3-5 minutes. Cut a piece to verify doneness if needed.
-
Pour the prepared spice mixture into the pan with the chicken. Stir constantly as the sauce comes to a boil and thickens, about 1 minute.
-
Add the diced tomatoes and the reserved vegetables back into the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 more minutes, just until everything is heated through and coated in the sauce.
