For the Stir Fry

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 each yellow bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1/2 each red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup baby carrots, sliced
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Sauce

  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions
 

Preparing the Chicken

  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken and season it with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Cooking the Vegetables

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Add the broccoli, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and baby carrots. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Add the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for an additional minute.

Making the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with cold water until smooth.
  • Then add the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well.

Combining and Cooking

  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the sauce over the top.
  • Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Serving

  • Serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

Chicken stir fry is best served hot. You can garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
