- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot
- 1/2 pound bacon (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 - inch fresh ginger (cut into tiny matchsticks)
- 2 bell peppers (any color, stemmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 bunch of green onions (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (we use Sambal Oelek)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
Steps
In a large bowl, whisk together the arrowroot and the egg white. Toss the chicken pieces in this mixture and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar and chili paste and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook, stirring frequently, until they are crisp and browned, approximately 7 minutes. Drain all but 1-2 tablespoons of bacon grease and add the chicken and the ginger to the pan. Cook over high heat until browned, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the bell peppers and green onions and stir to combine. Cook over high heat, stirring until crisp tender, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the soy sauce mixture and stir to combine. Cook about 2 minutes, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the meat and vegetables. Enjoy!
