• 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 1.5 tsp Cornstarch
• 1.5 tsp Minced garlic
• 1 tsp Minced ginger
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 1 cup Chopped green bell pepper
• 1 cup Chopped red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup Sliced water chestnuts, drained
• 2 pcs Dried red chili peppers (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped scallions
• 2 tbsp Dry roasted peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, minced ginger, and water until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the chopped green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and water chestnuts. If using, add the dried red chili peppers for a spicier dish. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 7

Cook the ingredients together for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and vegetables.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped scallions and dry roasted peanuts on top of the dish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your lighter Kung Pao Chicken, perfect for a healthy meal plan.
