Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 carrots, sliced thinly
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes if using. Set the sauce aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the same skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  6. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Stir the cornstarch slurry one more time and pour it into the simmering sauce. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  8. Serve the stir fry immediately over cooked rice.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute tamari for the soy sauce.
  • You can substitute other firm vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms for the broccoli or bell pepper.
  • If you prefer more heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
