Stir-fry Asian Chicken with Caramelized Peppers

Hands down this is my family’s favorite chicken dish! Or so I was told. It is so versatile, you can serve it warm or cold! Chicken is a staple protein in our household. Papa bear needs it for his daily dietary requirement. In case you do not know, I don’t like to eat chilled food. But this is one dish that tastes even better when chilled. Perfect for that blazing summery afternoon heat (actually its that warm in Singapore every day)!

Slice the chicken fillet thinly. Marinate with oyster sauce and set aside. Slice up the red and yellow bell peppers. Finely dice the garlic and ginger. Roughly chop the chinese parsley and slice the spring onions to your desired liking.

Julienne (slice thinly) and Brunoise (dice finely)

In a heated skillet, add in olive oil. Add in the sliced chicken fillet stir fry until cooked.

Leave it for a minute to get a nice sear

Remove from skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add in some more olive oil. Throw in the ginger, bell peppers and the sauce mixture. Stir fry for 5 minutes or until the peppers are soft. Add in the minced garlic and continue to cook the peppers. At this point, there should be a nice aroma engulfing your kitchen.

What do you call these? Bell peppers or capsicums?

If the skillet is too dry, add in some more water. Remember it is important to taste your food and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once the peppers are soft and caramelized, add in the sliced chicken and stir through. Sprinkle the chopped chinese parsley and spring onions and turn off the heat.
