  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken (breast or thighs)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1-2 tbsp chili sauce or crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped

Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinating them in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add marinated chicken, and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
