Let’s embark on a culinary journey with this delightful recipe for Asian-inspired chicken thigh fillets. This dish combines the rich flavors of Asia with succulent chicken thigh fillets to create a mouthwatering meal that’s sure to satisfy your taste buds.
Ingredients
Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thigh fillets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Now that we have all the ingredients ready, let’s move on to the cooking process:
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. This will be our flavorful marinade.
- Place the chicken thigh fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook the fillets until they are browned on both sides and cooked through. This should take about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry them until they are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the reserved marinade over everything. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken and vegetables.
- Once everything is heated through and well-coated in the sauce, remove from heat.
- Serve the Asian-inspired chicken thigh fillets hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
