Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 apple (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 scallions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Core and slice the apples into thin wedges, leaving the skin on for added texture. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and 2 tablespoons of water. In another small dish, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced apples and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the apples are slightly softened but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce-honey mixture. Stir well to coat all the ingredients.
Slowly stir in the dissolved cornstarch mixture and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and become glossy.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
