Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced chicken breast and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are golden and chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, then 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp finely grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
3. Step 3: Add 1 medium red bell pepper and 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced into 1/2-inch strips, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Step 4: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes. Toss everything together and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and peppers.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 thinly sliced scallions before serving.
