Description
A vibrant and flavorful stir-fry bringing a kick of heat with tender chicken and colorful vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1–2 jalapeños, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
- Chopped cilantro & sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add the chopped red and yellow bell peppers, sliced jalapeños, and minced garlic. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until the veggies start to soften.
- In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and brown sugar. Pour this sauce over the vegetables in the pan along with the cooked chicken.
- If you like a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water and stir this slurry into the pan. Simmer until the sauce thickens and coats everything well.
- Top the dish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
