Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
- 1/4 cup minced peeled fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 red, orange, or yellow bell peppers (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Directions
-
In a small bowl, stir together honey, vinegar, and soy sauce. Heat a large skillet or wok over high until hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat skillet. Add chicken and stir until opaque but not cooked through, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate.
-
Add 1 tablespoon oil, ginger, and garlic to skillet and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add peppers and stir 2 minutes. Add soy mixture and bring to a boil. Return chicken to skillet and toss until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Serve over rice, topped with cilantro.
So this time I followed the recipe but I DOUBLED the honey-soy-rice vinegar mixture (to create more of a sauce). Worked perfectly! Paired it with brown rice.
This is probably the first time I've ever said something had too much ginger in it. The sauce was very thin, tasted ok on the rice and veggies, but I thought it was awful on the chicken.
I made it following the recipe and it was completely delicious. I would live on a diet of just this and be a happy lady!
Very good. Paired with steamed spinach instead of rice for a healthier twist. Family loved it!
This was delicious!! It was easy to make, too. Reading the ingredients, I was concerned that it would not have enough flavor, but it was yummy! We made it with tofu instead of chicken and it worked well.
Very easy and very delicious. Next time I'll add even more peppers and some mushrooms!
My husband made this last night and it turned out great! He added baby green cabbage and mushrooms to the veggies. Having leftovers today over couscous instead of rice - still great!
Nice n' easy recipe! Seemed like the sauce would end up being too thin, so I tossed the chicken in a few tablespoons of cornstarch before cooking, so when everything was combined the sauce thickened up nicely and coated everything! Good recipe!
This was absolutely delicious. Both of our boys really enjoyed this. Used a little red bell pepper with bok choy and [filtered word]ake mushrooms.
The sauce didn't thinken as much as I expected. Perhaps I didn't cook it long enough?
Delicious. I made this with mushrooms and peas in addition to the peppers. This recipe could easily be adapted to include other vegetables such as celery and carrots.
