  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp corn starch

  • 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • Wok or large skillet

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Start by cutting the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with cold water until smooth. Then, add the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk until combined and set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the broccoli, bell peppers, and baby carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and veggies.
  7. Serve your Easy Chicken Stir Fry Recipe hot over rice or noodles, and enjoy this quick and delicious meal!
