Ingredients
  

  • 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 fresh
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup baby carrots sliced
  • 2 tsp minced ginger fresh
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 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
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Spatula or Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper, ensuring even coating.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the broccoli, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and baby carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  4. Add minced ginger and garlic, stirring continuously for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. In a small bowl, mix corn starch with cold water until smooth. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, pour the sauce over, and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Remove from heat and serve the stir fry over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
