Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger, and chop the green onions.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the peppers are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the other tablespoon of sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and stir-fry for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Step 7
Finally, add the chopped green onions to the stir-fry, tossing everything together. Adjust the seasoning with additional soy sauce or spices if necessary.
Step 8
Serve the stir-fried chicken with bell peppers immediately with rice or noodles, as desired.
