Description
A delicious and healthy stir-fried chicken dish with mixed vegetables, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (diced into 1 inch pieces)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 whole yellow onion (sliced)
- 3–4 large carrots (peeled and sliced)
- 2 cups broccoli (diced into bite sized pieces)
- 2–3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat in a wok or skillet. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken for about 5 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
- Remove and transfer to a plate, and set aside.
- With the heat still on medium, add the other tablespoon of oil to your skillet and cook your veggies until tender but not all the way cooked through.
- While veggies are cooking, work on your stir fry sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and cornstarch and set aside.
- When veggies are almost done, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the chicken back to the skillet.
- Stir in the stir fry sauce and make sure that all your chicken and veggies are coated. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn.
- Let this mixture boil until thickened, about a minute.
- Top with sesame seeds or sliced green onions and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours before cooking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as snap peas or mushrooms.
