Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 1 cup almonds, roasted and unsalted
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 4 cups cooked rice or noodles (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a medium bowl, mix chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, chicken broth, oyster sauce, and honey. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and stir fry until fully cooked, about 4–5 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 4–5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything to combine evenly.

Step 8

Stir in the roasted almonds and cook for another 1–2 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately with cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
