Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • Cooked rice for serving
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sliced chicken breast and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant.
  4. Add the bell peppers, carrot, and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  7. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine.
  8. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  9. Serve over cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Adjust spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
