Prep: 20 min | Cook: 10 min | Total: 40 min

Cost: $5.01 total, $2.50 per serving

Ingredients

  • 150 grams Boneless Chicken Breast (cut into thin strips or small squares)
  • 0.5 tsp Salt (to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper Powder (freshly ground if possible)
  • 1 tsp Chili Flakes (or regular chili powder, adjust heat to preference)
  • 1 piece Green Chili (finely chopped)
  • 0.5 piece Red Bell Pepper (sliced into thin strips)
  • 0.5 piece Yellow Bell Pepper (sliced into thin strips)
  • 50 grams Green Beans (trimmed)
  • 1 small piece Onion (sliced)
  • 1 clove Garlic (minced; optional)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil (for sautéing; any neutral oil works)
  • 1 tbsp Honey (adds a light glaze; optional)

Instructions

  1. Season and Marinate Chicken

    Place the cut chicken pieces in a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper powder, and chili flakes. Mix well until evenly coated. Let the chicken rest for 15‑20 minutes at room temperature.

    Time: PT20M

  2. Prep Vegetables

    While the chicken marinates, slice the red and yellow bell peppers, trim and cut green beans, slice the onion, and finely chop the green chili (and garlic if using).

    Time: PT5M

  3. Sauté Chicken

    Heat the frying pan over high flame. Add olive oil and let it shimmer. Add the marinated chicken and stir‑fry for about 3 minutes, until the pieces start to turn golden but are not fully cooked through.

    Time: PT3M

    Temperature: high flame

  4. Add Vegetables and Finish Cooking

    Add the sliced bell peppers, green beans, onion, green chili, and garlic to the pan. Stir‑fry for another 3‑4 minutes on high flame until the vegetables are tender‑crisp and the chicken is cooked through.

    Time: PT4M

    Temperature: high flame

  5. Glaze with Honey

    Drizzle the honey over the hot chicken‑vegetable mixture. Toss quickly to coat everything evenly; the heat will thin the honey into a light glaze.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plate. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a light lunch or dinner.

    Time: PT1M

Critical Success Points

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes to develop flavor.
  • Sauté on high flame to quickly seal the chicken and keep vegetables crisp.
  • Add honey only after the vegetables are cooked to prevent burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with clean hands and separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Hot oil can splatter; keep a lid nearby and do not touch the pan with bare hands.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F (74 °C).
