Ingredients

• 12 ounces bow tie pasta (farfalle)
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Step 1

Cook the bow tie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Step 8

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
