Ingredients

  • 1.0 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch to make the sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the chicken to the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, and julienned carrot.

Step 6

Stir fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the prepared honey ginger sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.

Step 9

Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat everything evenly.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and white sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately with steamed white rice or noodles.
