Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced into thin strips

1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed of ends

1 medium onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavor while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, and the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce until well blended. Set aside for later use.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated chicken slices. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

        Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Then, add the trimmed sugar snap peas and minced garlic, continuing to cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.

          Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Gently fold in the peach wedges and pour the sweet chili sauce mixture over everything. Stir together gently and allow the peaches to warm and soften slightly for about 2 minutes.

            Thicken the Sauce (Optional): For a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

              Serve: Remove the stir-fry from heat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or basil leaves on top for garnish. Serve immediately over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa for a delightful meal.
