For the Stir Fry
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Offers juicy flavor and tenderness
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Essential for achieving crispy coating
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Great for frying; can substitute with olive oil
  • 1 Bell Peppers Any color works
  • 2 cups Steamed Green Beans Fresh or frozen options are both fine
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) Fresh garlic gives the best taste
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger (optional) Fresh is recommended; omit if desired
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Boosts overall flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Adjust based on spice preference
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Adds nutty richness

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine diced boneless skinless chicken thighs with vegetable oil, salt, pepper, cornstarch, and garlic powder. Toss until thoroughly coated, and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in small batches, searing for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken and let it rest.
  3. In the same skillet, add bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with green beans, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, ginger (if using), and crushed red pepper. Toss for about 3-4 minutes until well-coated and heated through.
  5. Serve immediately over steamed jasmine or brown rice.
