About Stir-fried chicken with chili peppers

Stir-Fried Chicken With Chili Peppers is a vibrant dish rooted in Chinese cuisine, particularly inspired by Sichuan and Hunan cooking. This flavorful recipe features tender pieces of chicken, fiery chili peppers, garlic, ginger, and scallions, all wok-tossed in a savory sauce made from soy, vinegar, and a hint of sweetness. Packed with lean protein from chicken and rich in vitamins from the chili peppers, this dish offers a satisfying balance of spice and nutrition. The use of fresh aromatics like ginger and garlic provides additional health benefits, such as their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. However, keep an eye on sodium levels, which can be elevated depending on the soy sauce and other condiments used. For a healthier option, try reducing the amount of oil and serving it alongside steamed vegetables or brown rice for added fiber. This dish delivers bold flavor while keeping nutrition in mind.
