Print Recipe

Tender chicken stir-fried with bell peppers and onions in a savory, glossy sauce, served alongside fluffy steamed rice. A quick and vibrant meal ideal for weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken Stir-Fry:
  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Rice:
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 2 cups water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Rinse rice and combine with water and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until fluffy.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce (if using), cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry: Heat oil in a pan or wok. Sauté onions and bell peppers for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Add sliced chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 4–5 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir-fry everything together until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 2–3 more minutes.
  6. Serve: Plate the stir-fry next to or over a bed of steamed rice. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken in soy sauce and garlic for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier alternative.
  • Add chili flakes or fresh chili for a spicy kick.
  • This dish works well with shrimp or tofu as a protein substitute.
