Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snow peas
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and place them in a bowl.
In the bowl with the chicken, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Toss to coat and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the empty side and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables and stir to coat everything evenly.
Cook for 1-2 more minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
Serve the stir fry over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
