Instructions:
- Slice the onion and red bell pepper, julienne the carrots, thinly slice the red hot chili peppers, and mince the garlic.

- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the oyster sauce and soy sauce. Toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly with the sauce.
- Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is well combined and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your spicy chilli chicken stir-fry with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Cut the chicken breasts into thin, uniform slices for even cooking.
- Adjust the number of chili peppers to suit your spice preference.
- Cook the vegetables to your desired level of crispness; some people prefer them slightly crunchy while others like them more tender.
- Ensure the wok or pan is hot before adding the oils to prevent sticking.
- Stir the chicken constantly to ensure it cooks evenly and absorbs maximum flavor from the sauces.
In conclusion, chilli chicken stir-fry is a delicious and satisfying dish that you can whip up quickly and easily.
