Description

This Chicken Stir Fry brings together vibrant vegetables, tender chicken, and a savory sauce for a quick and satisfying meal. It’s perfect for a healthy dinner that is both easy to prepare and packed with flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • ¾ lb. broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 2 carrots, sliced into thin matchsticks
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lb. total), cut into small bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoon cooking oil, divided

Instructions

  • Prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water in a bowl. Set it aside.
  • Chop broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper, onion, and carrots, and set aside along with sliced green onions.
  • Cut chicken breasts into small pieces, about ½-inch each.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok on medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, and cook the chicken until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, followed by carrots and broccoli. Stir-fry for about a minute until broccoli is bright green.
  • Incorporate red bell pepper and onion, stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir the sauce again, return the chicken to the skillet, and pour the sauce over everything. Cook until the sauce thickens and the vegetables reach desired tenderness, about 1-2 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve.

Notes

You can add more vegetables such as snap peas or mushrooms for added variety.
Adjust the level of sriracha to suit your spice preference.
Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
