Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to your heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and sauté until they are golden brown and cooked through. Season them with salt and black pepper while cooking.
  2. Stir-Fry the Veggies: Add the chopped red, yellow, and green bell peppers along with the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables until they start to soften but still retain a crunchy texture.
  3. Add the Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Toss everything together in the skillet to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables with the sauce.
  4. Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat and top the stir-fry with the thinly sliced fresh jalapeños, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro for added freshness and spice.
  5. Serve: Serve the spicy jalapeño chicken stir-fry hot, ideally over steamed rice or noodles to complete the meal.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sriracha and jalapeños depending on your preferred spice level.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce substitute.
  • Use other protein options such as tofu or shrimp as alternatives.
  • To make it lower in fat, reduce the amount of oil used for cooking.
  • Adding a splash of lime juice before serving can brighten the flavors.
