Ingredients
-
2 chicken breasts, diced
-
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
-
1 teaspoon sesame oil
-
½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
-
1 teaspoon cornstarch
-
2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
-
1 cup jasmine rice, steamed
For garnish:
-
Sesame seeds
-
Sliced green onions
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Heat the sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and stir-fry for 5–6 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, keeping them tender but slightly crisp.
Step 3: Combine and Thicken
Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chili flakes if using. Stir well. Mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry, then pour it into the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly.
Step 4: Serve
Serve the garlic chicken stir-fry over steamed jasmine rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot.
