Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium green bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
For The Sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ cup chicken broth low sodium, or water
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
For Garnish
- sesame seeds
- green onions chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the sauce – soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sugar, sesame oil, and chicken broth. Set aside.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the red and green bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Give the sauce a quick stir to recombine the cornstarch, then pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for another minute or two until the sauce has thickened and everything is well coated.
- Sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or sliced chili for an extra kick of heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately, offering steamed rice or noodles on the side if desired.
