Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup bell peppers sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup carrots julienned
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger grated

Szechuan Sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns crushed
1 tablespoon chili paste

Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, toss the sliced chicken with cornstarch until evenly coated.
2 Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3 Add the chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until cooked through and slightly crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4 In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add garlic, ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5 Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
6 In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, crushed Szechuan peppercorns, and chili paste to create the sauce.
7 Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly.
8 Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is well combined and heated through.
9 Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
