Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then sauté the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and no longer pink, 5–7 minutes.
  3. Mix soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour over the chicken and simmer for 2 minutes to coat.
  4. Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  5. Season with salt, remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
