Jalapeno Chicken Peppers (Printable Version)

Juicy chicken tossed with crunchy peppers, spicy jalapeno, and punchy spices for a speedy, flavorful dinner.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Protein

01 - Cut about 1 pound of chicken breast into bite-sized pieces with no skin or bones

→ Marinade

02 - Swap in 2 tablespoons of vinegar (apple cider or regular white both work)
03 - Splash in 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce
04 - Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce

→ Stir Fry

05 - Throw in a couple tablespoons of chopped cilantro right at the end for freshness
06 - Dust with 1 teaspoon garam masala or use curry powder if that's what you have
07 - Season with 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
08 - Add 1 tablespoon sugar when you’re cooking
09 - Chop 2 bell peppers into big chunks
10 - Slice 2 to 4 jalapeños however you like—if you want less spice, toss the seeds
11 - Peel and finely chop about 10 garlic cloves
12 - Fire up 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
13 - Heat a spoonful of any vegetable oil you have

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Sprinkle garam masala (or curry powder) and black pepper on top, scoop in the cilantro, and give everything a final toss. If you wanna make it look fancy, top with extra jalapeño slices and cilantro. Dish it out right away.
02 - Toss in bell peppers after the chicken gets some color. Let it all sizzle together for about five minutes—your chicken should be cooked through, but stop before the peppers get floppy.
03 - Drop in the marinated chicken, let it brown for around five minutes, then stir in the sugar to coat it all.
04 - Get your pan hot and pour both oils in. Toss in your garlic and jalapeño slices for about half a minute. You'll know it's ready when everything smells amazing.
05 - Mix up soy sauce, sriracha, and vinegar in a big bowl. Put your chicken chunks in and rub them around so they’re all covered. Leave them to soak while you get started on the veggies.

# Additional Notes:

01 - If you're not into spicy stuff, pull out the seeds from the jalapeños or just use less of them.
02 - Letting the chicken hang out in the marinade makes it super juicy and packed with flavor.
