Place the oil in a skillet on your stovetop and allow the oil to become hot. Add the chunks of chicken to the oil in a single layer, careful not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook the chicken in two batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
In the same skillet, add chopped bell peppers, onion, Szechuan peppercorns, and red chilies and cook over medium-low heat until the peppers are tender and the onions are translucent.
Add the sauce mixture to the cooked vegetables. Allow it to simmer until the sauce begins to thicken. Next, stir the cooked chicken into the sauce and veggie combination.
