Ginger Soy Chicken with Capsicum and Shallots

This delicious dish features tender chicken breast marinated in a vibrant ginger-soy sauce, complemented by the sweetness of caramelized shallots and the crunch of colorful capsicum. The balance of traditional Asian flavors with a modern twist makes this a delightful and satisfying meal that is both healthy and packed with flavor.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 shallots, thinly sliced
• 1 red capsicum, sliced
• 1 yellow capsicum, sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, and sesame oil to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until they are translucent and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the skillet. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
5. Add the sliced capsicum to the skillet and pour in the reserved marinade. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the capsicum is tender but still crisp.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
