So you really, really don’t feel like cooking. (We’ve been there.) But if you have five ingredients, a few pantry staples and 20 minutes, you can make chicken and snap pea stir fry. It’s easy, tasty and way healthier than that greasy takeout you were about to order.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2½ cups snap peas
1¼ cups boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons Sriracha (optional)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, plus more for finishing
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for finishing
Directions
1. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the bell pepper and snap peas, and sauté until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Add the chicken and cook until it is golden and fully cooked and the vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha (if using) and sesame seeds; toss well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the cilantro, then garnish with a sprinkle of extra cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
