  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon chili paste or sauce (adjust for spice level)
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 bell pepper, sliced (red or green)
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooked rice or noodles, for serving


Instructions

Creating Zesty Spicy Ginger Chicken is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey, chili paste, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
6. Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced bell pepper and broccoli florets. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Check Seasoning: Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more soy sauce or chili paste for additional flavor or heat.
8. Garnish: Once everything is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
9. Serve: Serve it over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal. Make sure to drizzle any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.

These straightforward steps ensure that your Zesty Spicy Ginger Chicken will turn out perfectly every time.
