Print Recipe

A bright, speedy weeknight dinner that balances heat, sweetness, and savory umami, featuring tender chicken and colorful bell peppers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients. Pat the chicken dry and cut into bite-sized pieces, chop the bell peppers, thinly slice the jalapeños, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat a little oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the chicken.
  3. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the minced garlic and sliced jalapeños. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped bell peppers and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Mix well to combine.
  7. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well-coated and heated through.
  8. Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with extra sliced jalapeño if desired.

Notes

Adjust the sriracha and jalapeño to suit your heat tolerance. Perfect for meal prep and reheats well.
