Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 200 grams Tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 30 grams Protein powder (unflavored)
• 150 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Toss the pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion. Slice the red and green bell peppers into strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Saute the garlic and onion until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

In a bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and unflavored protein powder. Stir in the water until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.

Step 8

Add the chicken back into the skillet and stir everything together until the chicken is well coated with the sauce.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot over steamed rice or with a side of your favorite vegetables.
