Instructions

  • Cut chicken thighs into thin strips and place in a bowl. Add cornstarch, salt, and pepper and mix until combined.
  • In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, chili sauce, and ketchup until combined. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a skillet (I use a cast iron skillet or wok on high heat. Add chicken in batches and cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove to a bowl and repeat until all chicken is cooked.
  • Add onions, peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in snap peas and garlic, cook another minute.
  • Add back in the chicken and add sauce mixture, mix until combined. Simmer for 1-2 minutes for the sauce to thicken up a bit.
  • Serve with rice and garnish with green onions.

Notes

**If you want to adjust the heat level, just start with 1 tablespoon of garlic chili sauce and taste it.

Snow peas can be used in place of sugar snap peas.
