A quick and vibrant garlic chicken stir-fry with tender-crisp bell peppers served over steamed jasmine rice. Flavorful, saucy, and perfect for a weeknight dinner in just 25 minutes.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for slurry)
  • 1 cup steamed jasmine rice
  • Garnish: sesame seeds & sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Chicken: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and stir-fry 5-6 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant. Add sliced red and green bell peppers and stir-fry 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return chicken to the pan. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chili flakes (if using). Stir to coat evenly.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Pour into the pan and stir 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
  5. Plate and Garnish: Serve over steamed jasmine rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Use high heat to maintain tender chicken and crisp vegetables.
  • Ensure cornstarch slurry is well-mixed before adding to avoid lumps.
  • Stir constantly while thickening to prevent burning and evenly coat ingredients.
