Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 carrot (julienned or thinly sliced)
- 1 zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. This will be your stir-fry sauce.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or use a small amount of oil if needed.
Add the sliced chicken to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender yet crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and cilantro.
Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice, if desired. Enjoy your Thai Chicken Stir Fry!
