Smart Boy's Quick & Easy Chinese Chicken Stir-fry Recipe!

Prepare the chicken and vegetables: Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Slice bell pepper and onion. Mince garlic and grate ginger.

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for 5-10 minutes.

Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

Stir-fry vegetables and combine with sauce: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Add sliced bell pepper, onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch (if a thicker sauce is desired). Pour the sauce into the pan with the vegetables, bring to a simmer, and cook until it thickens. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce.

Serve immediately: Serve the hot chicken and vegetable stir-fry over cooked rice, if desired. Enjoy your quick and delicious meal!
