A quick and flavorful chicken breast stir fry loaded with colorful vegetables and a savory soy-ginger sauce. Perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner.
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 cup broccoli florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, cornstarch, honey, and toasted sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the skillet and season with black pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet.
Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
Give the prepared sauce a quick stir and pour it over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
Remove from heat and stir in sliced green onions.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles if desired.
