Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon sugar, if needed
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken (thighs or breasts) cut in 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 carrots, sliced 1/8 inch thick
3 bell peppers, mix of red and yellow, in 3/4-inch pieces
1 large onion, in 1-inch chunks
1 bunch green onions, chopped
Steamed rice

1. Whisk together the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Taste for seasoning, adding more soy sauce if you like. If tart, add a little sugar. Pour over the chicken in a bowl. Allow to rest while you cook the vegetables.

2. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Stir-fry the carrots until crisp-tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Add more oil to skillet, if needed. Repeat, in separate batches, with the peppers, then the onion.

3. Drain chicken from the marinade, reserving marinade. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Stir-fry chicken, in batches if necessary, until cooked through, 8 minutes.

4. Return vegetables to the skillet with the chicken. Pour in the reserved marinade. Heat until the marinade boils; cook, 1 minute.

5. Transfer all to a serving bowl; stir-fry the green onions, 1 minute. Scatter them over the chicken and vegetables. Serve with the rice and more soy sauce.
