Time 16m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
Boil-in-bag rice, as needed, for serving
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch strips
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece ginger, minced
1 bunch scallions, white parts cut into 1-inch pieces, green parts thinly sliced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the rice to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken in one layer and season with the red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper. Cook until light brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken, add the bell peppers, garlic, ginger and scallion whites and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir together the balsamic and brown sugar and add it to the skillet. Cook until the vinegar reduces a bit, about 2 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and add it to the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  • Remove the rice from the pot and drain. Cut open the bag(s) and serve up. Spoon some of the chicken over the rice and garnish with the sliced scallion greens.
