Method

Chilli Chicken Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine chicken pieces, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  3. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in batches, cooking until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the diced onions, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Add Chicken and Sauce

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add chili paste, and stir everything together for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with rice or noodles.
