Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup broccoli florets
1 bell pepper, sliced
2 carrots, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet.
Reduce heat to medium and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots, cooking until crisp-tender.
Stir in ginger and garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the chicken back to the skillet along with the sauce. Stir gently to combine and bring everything to a boil. Cook for one additional minute.
Serve your Chicken Stir Fry with rice or chow mein if desired.
Notes
For a plant-based version, substitute chicken with tofu or chickpeas. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
