Ingredients
For the Stir Fry:
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup sugar snap peas
3 green onions, sliced
For the Sauce:
⅓ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sriracha
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook 4–5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Add remaining tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Stir in bell peppers and sugar snap peas. Cook 4–5 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
While veggies cook, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, crushed red pepper, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Return chicken to skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the firecracker sauce and stir to coat. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
Serve over rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
Adjust sriracha and crushed red pepper to control spice level.
Great with steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles.
Add broccoli, carrots, or zucchini for extra veggies.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
