Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 100 grams Walnuts
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green capsicum
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Slice the red bell pepper and green capsicum into thin strips. Chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water to create a sauce. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the bell pepper and capsicum slices. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 8
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 9
Stir in the toasted walnuts and the green parts of the green onions. Toss everything together and remove from heat.
Step 10
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
