Ingredients
To make this Chicken Bell Pepper Stir-Fry, you’ll need the following ingredients:
For the Stir-Fry:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cut into thin strips or bite-sized pieces
2 bell peppers (any color: red, yellow, orange, or green), sliced into thin strips
1 medium onion, sliced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced (optional, but adds great flavor)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral oil like canola or sunflower oil)
For the Sauce:
3 tablespoons soy sauce (use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (for sweetness and depth of flavor)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (for a slight sweetness)
1 teaspoon sesame oil (adds a nutty, aromatic flavor)
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening the sauce)
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
