Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch Ginger
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips. Season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.

Step 2

Deseed the red, green, and yellow bell peppers. Slice them into thin strips.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the white parts from the green tops.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes, until they begin to soften.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the pan with the bell peppers. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the contents of the pan, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Add the green parts of the green onions for a fresh touch and give everything one last stir.

Step 10

Serve immediately over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete high-protein meal.
