Instructions
Creating Spicy Dragon Chicken is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell peppers and prepare the broccoli florets.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
5. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
6. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
8. Combine Everything: Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Toss to coat everything evenly and cook for another 2 minutes.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
These steps will guide you to create a dish that’s not only delicious but also visually appealing.
