Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 large Carrot, thinly sliced
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
• 3 cups Cooked rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch. Pour this marinade over the chicken, tossing to ensure it's fully coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, chop the broccoli florets, thinly slice the carrot, and cut the green onions into small pieces.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the remaining liquid, and add the chicken strips to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the reserved marinade. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and vegetables.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the green onions.

Step 9

Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
