Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes or 1 fresh chili (optional for spice)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions and keep warm.
  2. In a bowl, toss the diced chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and a pinch of pepper. Set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, onions (if using), and sliced bell peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and chili flakes. Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss with the vegetables.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss with the sauce and vegetables. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  7. Serve the stir-fry over the cooked rice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes or fresh chili to control the spice level.
  • For added crunch, consider adding sliced carrots or snap peas.
  • For a low-carb version, serve the stir-fry over cauliflower rice.
