Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients

Sauce

  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ cup lite soy sauce
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Stir Fry

  • 2-3 tablespoons oil
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into thin strips
  • 1 large carrot peeled and cut into thin strips
  • 3 green onions sliced

Instructions

  • Create a slurry by combining 2 tablespoons of chicken broth and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Add the remaining sauce ingredients to the bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Cook half of the chicken until browned, stirring occasionally, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil if needed.
  • Heat another tablespoon of oil in the pan.
  • Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables just begin to soften.
  • Add green onion and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Return the chicken to the pan.
  • Whisk the sauce again, and pour it into the pan.
  • Bring sauce to a boil, then simmer for a minute or two until it thickens.
  • Serve hot over white rice or noodles, topped with sesame seeds and additional green onions.

Notes

  • Brown sugar: 1-2 tablespoons of honey could be substituted for the brown sugar. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste. 
  • Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts.
  • Vegetables: Feel free to vary the vegetables according to your liking. Asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, snap peas, and Bok choy all work well in this recipe.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
