Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil (canola or vegetable oil)
  • 500g chicken thigh fillets or breast, diced into 2 cm pieces
  • 1 green capsicum, diced
  • 1 red capsicum, diced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup chicken stock or water
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cornflour
  • 1 tablespoon chicken stock or water (for slurry)
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and aromatic. Set aside.
  2. Begin cooking rice if serving with the stir fry.
  3. Dice chicken and capsicums into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, chicken stock (or water), honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper to make the sauce.
  5. Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in batches. Return all browned chicken to the pan.
  6. Add capsicums and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
  7. Pour in the sauce and simmer for 3–4 minutes.
  8. Mix cornflour with 1 tablespoon of stock or water to make a slurry. Stir it into the pan.
  9. Simmer for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  10. Turn off heat and serve over rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if using.

Notes

  • Swap capsicum with broccoli, snow peas, or green beans.
  • Use beef, prawns, or tofu instead of chicken.
  • Add chili flakes or sriracha for heat.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce for a lower salt version.
  • Use tamari and gluten-free stock for a gluten-free version.
  • Reheat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
