Firecracker Chicken

Step 1

In a jug or bowl, whisk all the ingredients for the marinade. (1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/4 cup tomato paste, ¼ cup harissa paste, and Kosher salt and pepper)

Step 2

Pour half of the mixture over the 1 pound chicken breast pieces and stir to evenly coat.

Step 3

Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes at the counter, or overnight in the fridge. Reserve the remaining sauce to use for the stir fry.

Step 4

Heat a large pan over medium heat. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, then stir and continue to cook until the chicken is almost cooked through.

Step 5

Stir in the 1 medium sweet onion and 1 large red or orange bell pepper. Continue to cook, stirring often, for around 5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Pour over the reserved sauce and stir to combine; remove from heat.

Step 6

Serve over cooked rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and wedges of lime, if desired.
