Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb thinly sliced skinless chicken breast with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 2 tsp cornstarch until the chicken is evenly coated. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the wok and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same wok, add 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 large each of sliced red, yellow, and green bell peppers and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender but still vibrant.
  5. Step 5: Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Stir in 1 tbsp chili paste and 1 tbsp honey, tossing everything together for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and peppers.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
