Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and chili garlic sauce. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and let them sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables: slice the red and green bell peppers and onion.

Step 4

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, shaking off the excess marinade before adding them to the pan.

Step 5

Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes or until it's golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet with the vegetables and stir well.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the skillet, along with any remaining marinade. Stir everything well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the chicken to cook through.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste.

Step 10

Once the sauce is thickened and the chicken is fully cooked, transfer the dish to a serving bowl.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired and serve hot with rice or a side of your choice.
