Popular questions:

  • Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?

    • Yes, you can definitely use chicken thighs in this recipe. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly as thighs may take longer to cook.

  • Can I substitute the bell peppers with other vegetables?

    • Yes, feel free to use your favorite vegetables in place of the bell peppers. Broccoli, snap peas, or zucchini would work well.

  • Is there a low-sodium alternative to soy sauce?

    • You can use a low-sodium soy sauce or even coconut aminos as a substitute for regular soy sauce.

  • Can I make this dish ahead of time?

    • You can prepare the sauce ahead of time, but it’s best to cook the chicken and peppers fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Helpful tips:

  • Marinate the chicken in the honey sauce for a few hours before cooking for more flavor.
  • Add a splash of rice vinegar for an extra tangy kick to the dish.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for a pop of color and added flavor.

Expert Secrets:

  • Cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet and ensure even browning.
  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor, but ginger paste or ground ginger can be used as a substitute.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Add more for extra heat, or reduce for a milder dish.
