Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped for garnish
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken pieces in a bowl with soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and rice vinegar. Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring frequently to prevent burning, and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Increase the heat to high and add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, add in the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas. Stir well and let them cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.
  6. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring quickly to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
  8. Serve the Thai chicken with steamed jasmine rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

To ensure juicy chicken, do not overcook it. Marinating the chicken longer can enhance the flavor even more.
