Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 granny smith apples
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin bite-sized strips and season with salt and black pepper.
Core and thinly slice the granny smith apples. Julienne the red bell pepper. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the sliced apples and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is evenly coated.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
