Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the red bell pepper into strips, chop the broccoli into florets, and julienne the carrot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger to make the sesame sauce.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set it aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sesame sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet while stirring continuously. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the dish and give it a final stir.
Serve the Sesame Delight hot over cooked white rice and enjoy!
