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. Marinate the chicken pieces in a bowl with soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and rice vinegar. Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring frequently for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Cook the marinated chicken in the skillet, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas, cooking for 3-4 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp.
  6. Mix the cornstarch with water in a separate bowl 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. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  8. Serve the Thai chicken with steamed jasmine rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

For an extra crunch, consider adding cashews or crushed peanuts when cooking. Adjust the sriracha to suit your spice tolerance.
