Green Pepper Stir-Fried Chicken Breast
Low-oil green pepper stir-fried chicken breast recipe for weight loss. Tender chicken with crisp pepper, quick flavorful low-calorie diet stir-fry
Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Green bell pepper
- Minced garlic
- Light soy sauce
- Ground black pepper
- Small amount of olive oil
- Fine sea salt
- Pinch of chicken essence
Instructions
- Cut chicken breast and green bell pepper into thin, uniform strips. Even sizing ensures both ingredients cook evenly and finish at the same time
- Toss chicken strips with a small amount of light soy sauce and ground black pepper. Let marinate for about 2 minutes — this quick marinade adds just enough depth to keep the chicken flavorful without extra calories
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and stir-fry just until fully opaque. Scoop out and set aside immediately to avoid overcooking into dry, rubbery meat
- In the same pan, add another small drizzle of olive oil. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then toss in green pepper strips. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the pepper reaches crisp-tender doneness — it should stay bright and snappy, not limp and overcooked
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Toss everything together quickly, then season with a light pinch of salt and optional chicken essence. Stir well and serve immediately
