Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
• ½ cup Thai-style sweet chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Sprinkle chicken with salt. In large skillet, heat oil over high heat; stir-fry chicken until starting to brown and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 6 minutes.
2. Add garlic and ginger; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion, red and green peppers; stir-fry for 3 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon water at a time, if needed to prevent sticking to pan.
3. Mix chili sauce with vinegar; add to pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until reduced and vegetables are tender-crisp. Serve sprinkled with green onions.
