Preparation Steps
Cut the boneless skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, and combine it with the marinade ingredients. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes for maximum flavor.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Kung Pao sauce ingredients until the cornstarch has dissolved. Set aside.
Preheat your wok or large skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and nearly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add 2 more tablespoons of oil. Toss in the chopped green and red bell peppers, pressed garlic, grated ginger, and dried red chili peppers. Stir fry for about 4 minutes until the veggies are tender but still vibrant.
Pour in the prepared Kung Pao sauce. As soon as the sauce begins to thicken, add the cooked chicken back into the pan and toss everything together to coat the chicken evenly.
Stir in the chopped green onions, roasted peanuts, and optional sesame seeds. Mix to combine.
