Sweet Pepper Chicken
Description
This recipe begins by preparing mini sweet peppers, halving and seeding them before cutting into wedges. The sauce blends soy sauce, oyster sauce, Thai sweet chili sauce, vinegar, and water for a balanced flavor supporting the main ingredients. Chicken breast is seasoned with salt and pepper, then seared in hot oil until browned.
Garlic is stir-fried briefly to release aroma before adding peppers and the prepared sauce. Returning the chicken to the wok, everything is tossed quickly over high heat, ensuring the chicken remains juicy and the peppers crisp-tender. The final dish balances sweet, salty, and tangy notes with a touch of heat from the chili sauce.
Serve immediately to retain the freshness of the peppers and texture of the chicken.
