Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
• 2 apple (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 scallions (sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Core and slice the apples into thin wedges, leaving the skin on for added texture. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and 2 tablespoons of water. In another small dish, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced apples and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the apples are slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce-honey mixture. Stir well to coat all the ingredients.

Step 8

Slowly stir in the dissolved cornstarch mixture and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and become glossy.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
