A quick and colorful chicken and bell pepper stir fry tossed in a savory garlic soy sauce. Tender slices of chicken are cooked with vibrant peppers and onions, then coated in a glossy sauce that makes every bite juicy, slightly sweet, and deeply satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet or wok over medium high heat and allow it to get hot.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
  3. Add olive oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat the surface.
  4. Add sliced chicken in a single layer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add garlic and onion, sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.
  7. Serve hot over rice or noodles and enjoy.

Notes

  • Slice the chicken thinly and evenly so it cooks quickly and stays tender.
  • Keep the heat moderately high to achieve light caramelization without overcooking the vegetables.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan, cook in batches if needed.
  • Stir the sauce well before pouring to prevent lumps.
