Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of space to cook the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding them.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of chicken, you may need to cook it in batches. Just make sure you don't overcrowd the skillet or wok, or the chicken will steam instead of fry.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your dish. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, broccoli, and carrots.
  • Adjust the spice level to your taste: If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of chili peppers or cayenne pepper. Or, if you like it really spicy, you can add more.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
