Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 1 pound chicken breasts or thighs thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

For the sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium light soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons peach or apricot jam
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha optional

For the stir fry:

  • 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
  • 1 red bell pepper cubed
  • 1 stalk celery chopped
  • 1/2 onion cubed

Instructions

  • Mix the chicken, soy sauce, garlic powder, and cornstarch in a bowl. Stir to coat the chicken. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Add half the oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces, one by one in a single layer, not touching. Turn the heat up to medium high. Cook without touching for 3 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan. Saute the pepper, celery, and onion for one minute. Season with salt.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss to coat and simmer for 1 minute.
  • Serve with additional fresh ground pepper, if desired.
