Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch strips. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken, cooking for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 sliced medium red bell pepper to the skillet, stir fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Return cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds over the dish before serving for a subtle nutty flavor.
