Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Honey
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 10 g Fresh ginger
- 10 g Cornstarch
- 30 ml Vegetable oil
- 300 g Mixed bell peppers
- 200 g Broccoli florets
- 100 g Carrots
- 1 medium Onion
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 60 ml Water
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, honey, finely minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch. Stir in the water until smooth and set aside.
Chop the mixed bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat 15 ml of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are lightly browned and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 15 ml of vegetable oil. Add the chopped onion and carrots, cooking for 2 minutes.
Next, add the broccoli and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Serve the chicken stir fry immediately over warm, cooked white rice.
