Instructions
Creating Sweet And Spicy Thai Chicken is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar. Set this mixture aside.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
5. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Combine with Sauce: Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
8. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds.
10. Serve: Serve warm over rice or noodles.
