Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to prepare the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour for better flavor.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
Add the marinated chicken to the pan, spreading out evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken starts to cook through, stirring occasionally.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned.
Pour the cornstarch slurry over the chicken and bell peppers, stirring as the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot, accompanied by steamed rice or your choice of side.
