Description
A flavorful and spicy dish featuring tender chicken thighs marinated in a savory sauce, stir-fried with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Add ginger, garlic, green onions, and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- In a small bowl, mix together sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sugar. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a milder version, reduce the amount of sriracha or omit it entirely.
- You can also add more vegetables like broccoli or snap peas for extra nutrition and color.
- Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
