Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts, remove any yellowed leaves, and slice them in half lengthwise.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Finely mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the Brussels sprouts and stir fry for 7-8 minutes until they start to caramelize and become tender.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and Brussels sprouts, stirring to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
