Instructions
Creating the perfect Sweet and Spicy Chicken can be achieved by following these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, garlic, ginger, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Place them in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (retain the marinade) and add it to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
5. Add the Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper and snap peas (or green beans) to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
6. Incorporate the Marinade: Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Finalize the Dish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
8. Serve Hot: Serve Sweet and Spicy Chicken over rice or noodles for a satisfying meal.
With these steps, you’ll create a flavorful dish that is incredibly enjoyable.
