Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil to create the sauce.
In a small separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until dissolved to create a slurry.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper and snap peas, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice.
