Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup almonds, roasted and unsalted
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 4 cups cooked rice or noodles (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a medium bowl, mix chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, chicken broth, oyster sauce, and honey. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and stir fry until fully cooked, about 4–5 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 4–5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything to combine evenly.
Stir in the roasted almonds and cook for another 1–2 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately with cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
