Chicken Pepper Stir Fry

I've been making an extra effort to prepare more chicken dishes, rather than the usual pork & beef, in an effort to live a little bit healthier.

Hubby and I have taken to buying a few packs of boneless chicken thighs whenever we stop by the grocery store.

I've tried a few dishes and this was the best of the lot so far. Worth blogging :) This is a very very slight variation from this recipe from Recipe Trove.

Ingredients:
6 pcs boneless chicken thighs, sliced thinly. (around 1 lb)
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced thinly
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced thinly
6 stalks green onions, cut into 1 inch pieces

Marinade:
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp catsup
1 tsp grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced

1. Mix the soy sauce, catsup, ginger and garlic. Add chicken and let stand for 15 minutes or more.
2. Stir fry the peppers and green onions in 1 tbsp of hot oil, cook until crisp-tender. Set aside.
3. Stir fry the chicken in 2 tsbp of hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes, until no longer pink in the center.
4. Stir in the bell pepper and green onion mixture.
5. Serve.

Verdict: Sarap! I cooked enough for 2 meals (4 servings), at least I thought so. Ginanahan si hubby and we had to cook extra rice because kinain nya yung rice that we set aside for his baon the next day.

So this was really just 3 servings for us.
