Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients:
- Start by dicing the vegetables into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onion thinly, mince the garlic, and cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
-
Preheat Pan:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and allow it to heat up until shimmering.
-
Sauté Chicken and Garlic:
- Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic to the pan and stir briefly until fragrant. Then, add the sliced chicken breast and cook until it’s no longer pink, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Add Vegetables:
- Next, add the diced carrots and onions to the pan with the cooked chicken. Toss the vegetables with the chicken and garlic, allowing them to cook for a few minutes until they start to soften slightly.
-
Incorporate Remaining Ingredients:
- Pour in the chicken broth, then add the sliced green and red peppers, green onion, and optional chile pepper. Sprinkle in the cashew nuts for added crunch and flavor.
-
Stir-Fry:
- Stir-fry the ingredients together, ensuring they’re well combined. Cook until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp and the chicken is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the ingredients, as you want to retain their vibrant colors and textures.
-
Thicken Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the pan and stir well to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for a minute or two, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
-
Serve:
- Once the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the Gai Pad Med Mak Muey hot, garnished with additional sliced green onion or chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy this delicious Thai-inspired dish with steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying meal!
