Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 4 oz mushrooms sliced
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
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Mix the soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl to create 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 to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. Add the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything.
  7. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet while stirring constantly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Serve immediately, perhaps over brown rice or quinoa.
