Ingredients
  

For the Stir Fry
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water to create a slurry

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Mix the soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl to make the sauce base. Set aside.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the broccoli and carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 3 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cook for another 2 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  6. Pour the sauce base over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything.
  7. Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa, or divide into meal prep containers.
