• Return the skillet to med-high heat and add the red and green peppers, garlic, ginger, and onion to the pan.
• Saute for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
• Season the veggies with salt and pepper, and push everything over to one side of the pan.
• Add the butter to the pan, and as it is melting, sprinkle the flour over it; cook for about 30 seconds.
• Add the wine, tamari, and five-spice powder and stir to combine.
• Return the chicken to the pan and simmer until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is heated through, 2-3 minutes more.
