As a family of chicken lovers, we have many chicken recipes. For examples

  1. Indonesian fried chicken,
  2. grilled chicken, opor ayam (chicken coconut milk sauce),
  3. pepes ayam (chicken wrap with banana leaves),
  4. chicken satay, and many more!

Before I tell you how to make this chicken bell pepper stir fry, there is a story behind this recipe. After my sisters and I made Vietnamese Spring Rolls, there were a few ingredients left like bell peppers and other vegetables. Because Indonesian cuisines rarely used bell pepper, I tried experimenting to cook the bell peppers along with the chicken. And I also made special Asian-inspired sauce that tasted sooo good.

Because I got good compliments from people who tried it, they ask me to share the recipe and publish it on my blog. Find it on recipe box below.

Making Easy & Quick Dinner!

No one can argue the stir fry method is the easiest method when you want to cook in simple ways. Originating from China, the stir fry method involves continually stirring your ingredients with a small amount of hot oil over time. Today, stir-frying is mainly associated with Asian cooking and dishes.

Almost all people like the stir fry method. It is because you can mix what ingredients you need in one meal. You can bring your favorite protein, vegetables, and nutrients based on your preference. Besides, you can also do some experiments with the sauce and seasoning. The possibilities are endless with this technique.

If you love the taste of pepper bell, this recipe can be your favorite dinner menu. The combination of the sauce and the chicken can make finger-licking. When the chicken absorbs the sauce, it is the best flavorful part of this menu. The cooking time is short, the ingredients are easily sourced, and it is one of the best dinners to make out of leftovers!

How to Make Chicken Bell Pepper Stir Fry

Alright, Firstly, you need to prepare the ingredients. I believe you have all of this basic ingredients in your kitchen. The ingredients are :

  • Chicken – I use wings & drumsticks. You can use other parts of the chicken. I use them because of the juicy taste when we eat them.
  • Red Bell Pepper – This kind of bell pepper is the healthiest bell pepper because contains more beta carotene. In this recipe, you need to cut it in 1-inch length.
  • Sauce – What is stir fry without combining sauce. So, I use Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, chili sauce, and sweet soy sauce or kecap manis if you like it.
  • Spice – You need garlic, shallots, and chopped green onion. These ingredients will make the chicken more flavorful.
  • Seasoning – For the seasoning, I use basic seasoning in the kitchen. I use chicken stock powder, salt & pepper to taste.
  • Cooking oil and water – You need cooking oil to sautee the ingredients before you pour the water to make a thick sauce.

For the steps, you can stir fry the ingredients by adding the ingredients one by one. In detail, you can follow these steps.

On a pan sear the chicken with 1 tbsp cooking oil on high heat for 3 minutes on each side. Do it in batches so we don’t crowd the pan. Set aside.

In the same pan heat 1 tbsp cooking oil with garlic & shallot for 1 minutes. Then add water, 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce, ketchup, chili sauce, chicken stock powder, worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined. You can add extra 1 tbsp sweet soy sauce if you like it sweeter.

Add seared chicken to the pan & cooked on medium heat for 15 minutes. Then add red bell pepper & 2 tbsp green onion and cook for 10 minutes.

After the sauce has thickened, turned off the heat. Chicken bell pepper stir fry is ready to serve.

Recipe Notes :

  • You can add some other vegetables if you like them.
  • I don’t know if you like to keep this menu or not. But, I store it in the refrigerator. So, I can reheat it every time I need it.
  • If you like to marinate the chicken, it is better. Seasoning the chicken longer before, the better it holds the flavor when cooking
  • Do not be afraid to substitute different herbs and spices when mixing your sauce.
  • Use high heat when you stir-frying the chicken with the sauce. The high heat allows you to really bring the juices of the chicken out and flavor the dish as a whole.
