Ingredients

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced thin
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the pan: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over high heat until shimmering.
  2. Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic to the hot pan and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned, to infuse the oil with garlic flavor.
  3. Cook chicken: Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the pan and stir-fry until the pieces are browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes, ensuring they are evenly cooked.
  4. Add vegetables and sauces: Toss in the sliced bell peppers, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of chili garlic sauce. Stir frequently and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables become tender yet retain some crunch.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the spicy garlic chicken stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • To keep the dish dairy-free, ensure no butter or dairy ingredients are added.
  • For less heat, reduce the amount of chili garlic sauce or substitute with a milder chili paste.
  • You can swap bell peppers with other crunchy vegetables like snap peas or broccoli for variation.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if you want to reduce the salt content.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor as stir-fried vegetables can lose their crispness.
