Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced

2 tbsp soy sauce

12 tbsp chili paste (adjust to taste)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil)

1 bell pepper, sliced

1 onion, sliced

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

Marinate Chicken:

In a bowl, combine sliced chicken, soy sauce, chili paste, garlic, and sugar.

Toss well and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

Sear Chicken:

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.

Add marinated chicken and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned.

Cook Veggies:

Add sliced bell pepper and onion to the pan.

Stir-fry for another 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.

Combine & Serve:

Toss everything together until chicken is fully cooked and coated in sauce.

Serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

Spice Control: Adjust the chili paste to your heat preference. Start with 1 tablespoon for mild heat and increase for more kick.

Protein Swap: Chicken thighs, shrimp, beef, tofu, or tempeh all work well in this recipe.

Vegetable Add-ins: Broccoli, zucchini, snap peas, or mushrooms make great additions for more nutrition and color.

Meal Prep Tip: Marinate the chicken and chop vegetables ahead of time. Store separately in the fridge and cook fresh when ready.

Serving Ideas: Best served over steamed jasmine rice, brown rice, or stir-fried noodles. For a low-carb option, try cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps.

Make It Saucy: If you prefer extra sauce, add 2–3 tablespoons of chicken broth or water to the pan while stir-frying.

Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat quickly in a skillet to keep the chicken juicy.
