Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.33 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 unit Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 unit Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 unit Carrot, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 servings Cooked rice
- 2 unit Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. In a separate small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until fully dissolved to create a slurry. Set both aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry for 5–6 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, stir frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, and carrot slices to the skillet. Stir fry the vegetables for 4–5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the hoisin sauce mixture. Stir to coat everything evenly.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the stir fry immediately over cooked rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
