Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 pieces Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the honey-ginger sauce over the chicken and peppers, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the stir fry with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
