🥢 Sesame Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)

2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 carrot, julienned

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp sesame seeds

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Sauce: 

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Set aside.

2. Cook Chicken: 

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: 

In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot; stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.

4. Combine & Toss: 

Return chicken to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together until well-coated and heated through, about 1–2 minutes.

5. Serve: 

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.

Chef’s Tip: 

For extra flavor, marinate chicken in 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil for 15 minutes before cooking.
