Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, sautéing them for 3 to 4 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
- Cook Ground Chicken: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir briefly until aromatic. Then, add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the chicken is browned and thoroughly cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the Sauce and Seasoning: Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the sliced green onions on top for a fresh finishing touch. Serve immediately over rice or alongside your favorite sides.
Notes
- You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less sriracha according to your taste.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content if preferred.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
- For extra texture, add chopped water chestnuts or shredded carrots during the vegetable sauté step.
- Ground turkey or lean pork can be used as a substitute for ground chicken.
