Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks scallions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and ground black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic into a marinade. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and let it sit for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables by slicing the red bell pepper into strips, cutting the broccoli into smaller florets, and julienning the carrot.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper, and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the remaining marinade and stir everything together.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir to thicken the sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish the dish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
Serve Harmony Chicken over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
