  3. Set aside covered for 1/2 hours.
  4. In a large fry pan, over med-high heat, brown chicken strips in olive oil.

  6. In the same fry pan, lightly sauté onions and 2 cloves of garlic for 2 minutes.
  7. Add cumin, hot pepper flakes and stir for 2 minutes more just to release flavor of cumin and heat of pepper flakes.
  8. Add corn, celery, red peppers, brown sugar, Worcestershire and vinegar stirring to loosen chicken flavor bits in the pan and to deglaze the pan and cook for 2 minutes more.
  9. Add tomato sauce, grated carrot, black olives, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, oregano and return chicken to the pan along with any juices left from the chicken in the bowl.
  10. Cook mixture covered over medium heat just until peppers and zucchini are tender; 15-20 minutes (or the way you like them-soft or crunchy?).

  12. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of cold butter.
  13. This will smooth the sauce out.
