Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch strips and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Toss in 1 medium julienned carrot, 1 medium red bell pepper sliced into thin strips, and 2 cups broccoli florets. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and cook for 2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 3 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds over the stir fry before serving warm.
