Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast
- 2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 2 fresh jalapeños
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 to 2 tablespoon sriracha
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
1. Sauté the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (cut into bite-sized pieces if needed), season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
2. Add the Vegetables: Add the chopped bell peppers and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the peppers are tender but still crisp.
3. Incorporate the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Toss everything together to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Finish with Fresh Toppings: Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately top the Spicy Jalapeño Chicken Stir-Fry with thinly sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro.
5. Serve: Serve the Spicy Jalapeño Chicken Stir-Fry hot over steamed rice or your favorite noodles, and enjoy the vibrant flavors and spicy kick.
Notes
Adjust the heat level by removing seeds from jalapeños for milder flavor or leaving them in for more spice.
