Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry

Step 1

Slice the 1.5 lb chicken breast into thin strips and toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Let marinate while you prep veggies.

Step 2

Slice the 2 bell peppers, 1 onion, and 1 carrot into thin strips. Keep them separate from the chicken.

Step 3

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2 minutes, until browned on one side, then stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove to a plate.

Step 4

Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and carrot to the same skillet. Stir-fry over high heat for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender and slightly charred at the edges.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce, and 2 tbsp water. Pour over the veggies and stir to coat.

Step 6

Return the chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and veggies evenly. Serve hot.

Step 7

Optional: garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if you have them.
