Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 large red bell pepper
1 large yellow bell pepper
1 large onion
4 cloves garlic
1 inch ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Sesame seeds
Cooked rice

Instructions

Marinate the chicken: Mix chicken pieces with soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, cornstarch, and sesame oil in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the sauce: Whisk together remaining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, and water in a small bowl; set aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.
Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add onion and bell peppers along with garlic and ginger. Cook until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
Combine: Return chicken to the skillet and pour sauce over everything. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles; garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
