Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a medium bowl.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar until smooth, then pour over the chicken. Let it marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper, cut the carrot into thin slices, and rinse the snap peas.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the chicken and vegetables.
Toss everything together to combine well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Garnish the stir fry with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
