Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the boneless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, chop the green bell pepper, carrot, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix 1 tbs of cornstarch with 2 tbs of water to create a slurry. This will help thicken the sauce later.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tbs of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 5

    Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add another tbs of vegetable oil. Add the chopped onions, green bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

  3. 6

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the remaining marinade and the cornstarch slurry. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle chopped green onions on top. Serve hot over cooked rice.
