Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1/2 cup baby carrots, sliced
– 2 tsp minced ginger
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tbsp corn starch
– 2 tbsp cold water
– 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
– 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
– 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1-First Step: Prep and Marinate Start by whisking together the sauce in a medium bowl: mix 1 tbsp corn starch with 2 tbsp cold water, then add 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth, 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes if you want some heat. Slice your 1 lb chicken into cubes, season with salt and pepper, and cook it first in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes.
2-Second Step: Cook the Vegetables Add the remaining olive oil and stir in 2 cups broccoli florets, 1/2 yellow bell pepper cut into pieces, 1/2 red bell pepper cut into pieces, and 1/2 cup sliced baby carrots. Cook these until theyβre crisp-tender, then mix in 2 tsp minced ginger and 2 garlic cloves for extra flavor. Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce, stirring gently to combine.
3-Third Step: Finish and Serve Bring everything to a boil and let it simmer for a minute until the sauce thickens. Serve right away with rice or chow mein for a complete meal. This whole process takes about 20 minutes, making it a favorite for busy nights.
