Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 Scallions, thinly sliced (optional for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked rice (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, cornstarch, water, honey, and sesame oil to make the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the chicken strips to the hot skillet, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Wipe the skillet if necessary, then add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but remain crisp.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 10

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat evenly, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with sliced scallions if desired.

Step 12

Pair with cooked rice for a complete meal, if preferred.
