Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Toss in 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 julienned large carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables with the chicken for 5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Pour this honey-soy glaze over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
