Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

In the bowl with the chicken, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Toss to coat and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the empty side and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix with the vegetables.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables and stir to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Cook for 1-2 more minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.

Step 9

Serve the stir fry over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
