Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, for sautéing
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce adjust based on desired sweetness (ensure halal certification)
- 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, and green for colorful presentation)
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed (can substitute with broccoli or carrots if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce ensure it's halal-certified
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cutting your boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized strips and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cooking
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken strips to the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Toss in the bell peppers and snap peas, stirring well to combine. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender yet crisp.
- Pour in the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce, mixing everything together. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.
- Remove from the heat and serve over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with additional chili flakes or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
For substitutions, consider switching chicken for tofu or shrimp if you prefer a different protein. Ensure your pan is hot enough before adding the chicken for a juicy sear, and avoid overcrowding the pan.
