Ingredients
- 454 g chicken breast
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) black pepper
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) minced garlic
- 2 tsp (10 ml) fresh grated ginger
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped green onion (just the white part)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce or tamari
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken broth
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) rice vinegar
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) honey
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) cornstarch
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) water
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups (480 ml) chopped broccoli florets
Instructions
- Flatten the chicken to a thickness of about 1/2 inch and dice into 1-inch pieces.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Warm up a non-stick pan with vegetable oil and add garlic, ginger, green onion, and the seasoned chicken pieces.
- Cook everything together over medium heat, allowing the chicken to brown for 2-3 minutes on each side until nearly cooked through.
- Move the contents of the pan to a plate and keep them aside.
- In the same pan, add the chopped red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Add a little extra oil if the pan seems dry.
- Stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until they can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cornstarch with water, stirring until smooth.
- Mix together all ingredients for the sauce and incorporate the cornstarch mixture.
- Once the veggies are done, return the chicken to the pan.
- Pour the prepared sauce over everything and let it simmer until the sauce thickens, which should take a few minutes.
- Slice the chicken to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Serve on a bed of rice and garnish with red pepper flakes and the remaining green onion. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a healthier option, consider using low-sodium soy sauce or tamari to reduce the salt content.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by cooking it until no longer pink in the middle.
- Feel free to add snap peas or water chestnuts for extra crunch and flavor, or add sriracha for a spicier kick.
