Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin strips

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 cups mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into thin strips

1 cup broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup snap peas, trimmed and cleaned

1 small onion, thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated

½ cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooked jasmine rice or noodles, for serving

Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the sliced chicken with the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare your vegetables.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, pour the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil is shimmering, indicating that it’s hot enough for cooking.

      Cook the Chicken: Carefully add the marinated chicken strips to the hot oil in the skillet. Stir-fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, ensuring it is cooked through and achieves a beautiful glaze. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

        Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant. Then, add the mixed bell peppers, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Continue stir-frying for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.

          Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently stir to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together for another minute. Taste your stir-fry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.

            Serve: Serve the sweet chili glazed chicken stir fry over a bed of warm jasmine rice or noodles. For an appealing presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions, adding a burst of flavor and color to your dish.
