Description

Spicy Jalapeño Chicken Stir-Fry is a quick and fiery dish loaded with tender chicken slices, vibrant vegetables, and spicy jalapeños tossed in a bold, savory sauce. It’s perfect for weeknight dinners when you want something healthy, flavorful, and satisfying.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 23 jalapeños, thinly sliced (with or without seeds depending on spice preference)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss chicken with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir-fry chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining oil. Stir-fry garlic, ginger, and jalapeños for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add bell pepper and snap peas. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Return chicken to the pan. Add oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Toss everything until evenly coated and heated through.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve immediately over rice.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of jalapeños to control the heat level.
  • Add cashews or peanuts for crunch.
  • For a lower-sodium version, use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce oyster sauce.
