Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1½ cups mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your choice)
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), honey or brown sugar, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add mushrooms and chopped bell peppers. Cook for 4–5 minutes until veggies are tender-crisp and mushrooms are golden.
- Combine Everything: Return chicken to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to coat all ingredients well. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles.
Notes
- Swap the bell peppers with broccoli, snap peas, or zucchini based on your preferences.
- For extra heat, add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
