DIY Chicken and Fresh Fig Stir Fry

 

We're still enjoying this year's fig season, just can't seem to get enough of them! It was too hot to barbecue so we opted for a quick stir fry. You all know how much we like the spicy ingredients so we spiced this one up with Sriracha! That and a few other ingredients and we turned out a really complex combination of flavors. As usual, we served it over Jasmine rice. A very delicious dinner in 30 minutes! It's hard to beat that, isn't it!

SERVES:            2
PREP TIME:     15 minutes

1 heaping teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon Sriracha
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari

1 hand full of mint leaves

For the stir fry:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
4 green Adriatic figs, quartered (or your favorite fig)
1 green jalapeno, chopped small
2 red jalapenos, chopped small
3 green onions, cut in 1" pieces
1 orange mini pepper, cut in rounds
Dash of red pepper flakes
