Ingredients
Scale
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup sliced carrots
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
Toss the cut chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the broccoli and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until slightly tender.
Add the red bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute more until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately.
Notes
This stir-fry is a great way to use up leftover vegetables you have on hand.
For extra crunch, add 1/4 cup of chopped water chestnuts along with the peppers.
If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when you add the garlic and ginger.
