How to Make Colorful Pepper Chicken: A Complete Guide

Colorful Pepper Chicken is a vibrant, stir-fried dish that’s quick to prepare and packed with flavor. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

- 200g boneless chicken breast, cubed

- 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced into strips

- 1 small onion, diced

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tbsp oyster sauce

- 1 tsp cornstarch

- 1/2 tsp sugar

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes, soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes to tenderize the meat.

2. Stir-Fry Aromatics: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until golden and cooked through (about 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Cook Vegetables: In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant (1 minute). Add the bell pepper strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.

4. Combine and Season: Return the chicken to the pan. Add oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together for another minute until well-coated.

5. Serve: Transfer to a plate and enjoy hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Tips: For extra heat, add a dash of chili sauce or sliced chilies. Customize vegetables with carrots or broccoli for more color and nutrients. This versatile dish is perfect for busy weeknights—delicious, healthy, and ready in under 20 minutes!
