Ingredients
- 16 oz Frozen Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Bites
- 3 medium Bell Peppers medium diced
- Avocado Oil Spray or Olive Oil
For the Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Oyster Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons Black Vinegar or balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 cloves Crushed Garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup Beef Bone Broth or water
Instructions
- Add the chicken to an air fryer and cook for 5 minutes at 400ºF while preparing the peppers.
- Add the peppers to the chicken, add a bit of avocado oil spray or a drizzle of olive oil, and toss everything together.
- Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes at 400ºF, shaking halfway through, until the chicken is crispy golden brown and the peppers are starting to brown around the edges.
- While the chicken and peppers cook, mix the sauce ingredients together in a skillet or saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Add the air fried chicken and peppers to the reduced sauce. Toss everything together until coated in the sauce.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro or scallions. Serve over rice.
Notes
I used Kirkland Signature chicken bites. Other options for frozen lightly breaded chicken breast bites include Just Bare, Perdue, Tyson, and Simple Truth (Kroger). You can also use rotisserie chicken.
