Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned chicken (drained)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot (julienned or thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onion (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Add the drained canned chicken to the skillet, breaking it up into bite-sized chunks as you stir. Cook for 2 minutes to warm the chicken through.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, remaining sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce.
Pour the sauce into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the stir-fry from the heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles and enjoy!
