Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast Can substitute chicken thighs for juiciness.
  • 2 cups Bell Peppers (Red, Yellow, Green) Feel free to mix with other veggies like broccoli for extra nutrition.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh minced garlic is a must for the best taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Substitute with tamari or gluten-free soy sauce if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce Add a touch of sweetness, can be replaced with soy sauce and a bit of sugar.
  • 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha Adjust amount depending on desired spice level.
  • 1 whole Fresh Jalapeño Remove seeds to tone down heat if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions Highly recommended as a garnish!
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Use generously for a fresh finish.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can swap with any neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil.

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add bite-sized pieces of chicken breast and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden-brown and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Toss in 2 cups of chopped bell peppers along with 3 minced garlic cloves into the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften slightly while still retaining their vibrant color and crunch.
  3. Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, and 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha, depending on your heat preference. Stir thoroughly for another 2 minutes, ensuring the chicken and veggies are well-coated.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in thin slices of fresh jalapeño. Finally, sprinkle chopped green onions and cilantro on top.
  5. Dish out the stir-fry on a bed of steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with additional cilantro or green onions if desired.
