I promise you, this will be the BEST Thai Jalepeno Chicken Stir Fry you’ve ever had.

This Thai Sweet and Spicy Jalepeno Chicken Stir Fry is also Paleo and gluten free.

I am glad I added jalepeno peppers, even though usually I don’t add any to stir frys. They are really the star of the sauce and they make all the difference in this dish. So if you are thinking of skipping the jalepeno peppers, don’t do it. It will still turn out great, but it won’t be the same. Since the peppers cook for several minutes in the skillet, the dish is not very hot or spicy. It has a nice mild kick that combines wonderfully with the sweetness of the orange marmalade, honey, coconut sugar and the garlic.

Add sliced chicken strips to skillet and saute for about 5-7 minutes or until cooked through while turning chicken to brown on both sides.

After chicken is cooked, add sliced strips red bell pepper and onion. Stir well, cover with a lid and saute for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, making sure nothing sticks to the pan. Add a little bit of olive oil if necessary.
