Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds Chicken Thighs
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Stir the mixture until well-coated and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Mix the remaining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, and about ¼ cup of water in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with olive oil. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, followed by onions, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over. Simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve over cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
