    2. Set up three dishes one with all-purpose flour, one with egg wash plus a dash of milk, one with equal parts of corn meal and all-purpose flour. Add the salt and pepper to the cornmeal and flour mixture according to taste.
    3. Dip the chicken strips first in the all-purpose flour then the egg wash and finally in the cornmeal and flour mixture.
    4. Heat a large frying pan with vegetable oil about one inch deep. Carefully place the chicken strips in the hot oil and turn when a beautiful golden color is reached on one side and finish cooking on the other side. Do not overcrowd the pan.
    5. Place the cooked chicken strips on paper towels.
    6. Heat a frying pan with about half inch deep of vegetable oil. Carefully place the red pepper strips in the hot oil. When the peppers become slightly wilted and become slightly charred turn over and continue to fry on the other side. This process takes about one to two minutes on each side.
    7. Place in a dish and drizzle a little olive oil over the peppers, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a drizzle of honey.
    8. Season the dish with salt and red pepper flakes and garnish with fresh basil and fresh oregano.

    11. Add the crushed tomatoes and continue to gently simmer. Add the orange juice and zest. Add the chicken broth and continue to gently simmer.
    12. Add all of the seasonings and gently simmer while you fry the chicken.
