Ingredients
1 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to heat preference)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1–2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
Chopped green onions and fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Cook the chicken pieces until lightly browned and fully cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Add the chopped bell peppers and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the spicy glaze.
- Remove from heat and top with fresh jalapeño slices, chopped green onions, and cilantro.
- Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh.
- To increase spice level, add more sriracha or chili flakes.
- Add honey or brown sugar for a sweeter glaze.
- Feel free to swap in other vegetables like snap peas, carrots, or zucchini.
