In a large nonstick skillet, stir-fry chicken in 1 teaspoon hot oil for 5-7 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove chicken and keep warm.

I would omit the hot pepper sauce and the cayenne pepper to omit the spicy for child friendly flavor and suggest toasted sesame oil for added flavor in this one. Along with fried rice as alternative option.
