Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks scallions
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic into a marinade. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables by slicing the red bell pepper into strips, cutting the broccoli into smaller florets, and julienning the carrot.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper, and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the remaining marinade and stir everything together.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir to thicken the sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.

Step 9

Serve Harmony Chicken over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
