Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch to create a marinade.
Toss the chicken strips in the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Stir-fry the broccoli florets, bell peppers, and carrots for 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and optional chili flakes. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
In a large salad bowl, arrange the mixed salad greens.
Spoon the chicken and vegetable stir-fry over the greens.
Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Sesame Chicken Stir Fry Salad!
