Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. 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.
  4. Add ginger, garlic, green onions, and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  5. 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.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
