Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 2 stalks Green onion, sliced
- 0.25 cup Crumbled bleu cheese
- 2 tablespoons Light sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Sear the chicken strips in the hot skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, julienned carrots, and snow peas. Stir fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the stir fry.
Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix crumbled bleu cheese, light sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth to create the bleu cheese drizzle.
Plate the chicken stir fry and drizzle the bleu cheese mixture lightly over the top.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
