Why This Recipe Is So Delicious

This dish combines bold flavors with tender chicken for a meal that’s both satisfying and quick to make. The spicy kick wakes up your taste buds, while the stir-fry method keeps everything fresh and full of texture.

Helpful Chef Tips

- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat.
- Cook over high heat to get a nice sear and keep the vegetables crisp.
- Add sauces gradually and taste as you go to balance the heat and seasoning.

Step 1

Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. In a big bowl, toss together the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, green beans, and a tablespoon of sesame oil until everything’s nicely coated. Spread the veggies out evenly on the baking sheet and roast them for about 15 minutes, giving them a good stir halfway through so they cook evenly.

Step 2

While the veggies are roasting, heat the rest of the sesame oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the rice vinegar and chili-garlic sauce, stirring to combine. Toss in the chicken along with the minced garlic and ginger, and cook everything for around 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and fragrant.

Step 3

Once the veggies are done, mix them into the wok with the chicken. Give it all a good stir to combine the flavors. Just before serving, sprinkle some bagel seasoning on top for a little extra kick and crunch. Enjoy!

Best Foods To Serve With This

Serve with steamed jasmine rice or noodles to soak up the spicy sauce. A side of steamed greens or a simple cucumber salad can help cool down the heat and add freshness to the meal.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the chicken tender and avoid drying out the sauce.

The chicken came out juicy and the spicy kick was great. I didn’t have fresh chili so used chili flakes, still good.

The sauce was punchy but not overwhelming. Used slightly less oil and it still came out great. My go-to now.
