Chinese Style Chicken
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 green bell pepper, sliced
– 1 onion, sliced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Cooked white rice, for serving
– Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and honey. Mix well and set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir fry for another minute until fragrant.
4. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, as well as the onion, to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water to loosen it up.
7. Serve the Chinese Style Chicken hot over a bed of steamed white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
