Chicken with Bell Peppers

I have been making this for quite some time and it’s a Ree Drummond recipe. The original recipe is with Beef and here I used chicken instead, but I have tried beef also many times and both are equally good.... The main thing we love about this curry is that it goes with almost anything like rice, noodles or even with chapathi.....  It can be served as a side dish or as a main dish after mixing it with some noodles..... 

Chicken with Bell Peppers

Prep Time ~15 Minutes 

Cook Time ~ 15 Minutes

Servings ~4 to 6

Ingredients:

500 gm boneless chicken, sliced thin

½ cup soy sauce

3 tbsp sherry

2 tbsp packed brown sugar

2 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp red chilly paste

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 medium onion, sliced

2 whole red bell peppers, cored and sliced into rings (or use a mix of red, yellow, orange and green bell peppers)

1 tbsp green chilly

Red Pepper Flakes, For Sprinkling

Coriander Leaves

Method:

• Mix together soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and chili paste.
• Place sliced chicken in the mixture and toss to coat. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• When it is very hot, throw in the onions and cook for less than a minute. Remove to a separate plate.
• Return skillet to flame, allow to reheat, and add bell peppers and green chillies. Cook for a minute, tossing, until peppers have brown/black bits but are still firm. Remove to a plate.
• Return skillet to heat and allow to get hot. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add chicken mixture, evenly distributing over the surface of the skillet. Allow to sit for 20 to 30 seconds, and then turn with tongs. Cook for another 30 seconds.
• Reduce heat to low. Add stir fried onions and peppers to the skillet and toss to combine. Pour in remaining marinated sauce and stir. Allow to simmer on low for a few minutes. Sauce will slowly thicken. Sprinkle coriander leaves. Turn off heat and serve.

Note: If you want to serve it as main dish, cook noodles in boiling water strain and drain. Then add half of noodles to the chicken and stir fry and add rest of the noodles and toss together. Serve hot.
