Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with soy sauce, chili sauce, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, slice the red and green bell peppers, onion, and mince the garlic and ginger. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned on one side, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, red and green bell peppers, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  4. 6

    Combine Chicken and Vegetables

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

  5. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped spring onions, and serve hot with rice or noodles.
