Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 200 grams Tomato sauce
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 30 grams Protein powder (unflavored)
- 150 milliliters Water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Toss the pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion. Slice the red and green bell peppers into strips.
In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Saute the garlic and onion until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
In a bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and unflavored protein powder. Stir in the water until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Add the chicken back into the skillet and stir everything together until the chicken is well coated with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot over steamed rice or with a side of your favorite vegetables.
