Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp ginger, grated
2 cups bell peppers, diced
3 stalks green onions, sliced
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp neutral oil
1 tbsp honey
Instructions
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat with one tablespoon of neutral oil.
Add the ground chicken to the pan and break it apart with a wooden spatula.
Cook the meat for five minutes until no pink remains and it develops a golden-brown crust.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet with the cooked chicken.
Sauté the vegetables for three minutes until they soften but retain a slight crunch.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger during the final minute of cooking.
Whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey in a small bowl.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetable blend.
Toss the ingredients for two minutes until the sauce reduces and coats the mixture perfectly.
Notes
Substitute ground chicken with ground turkey if preferred. Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to achieve the best sear. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
