Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium carrot thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start by cutting your chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the hot oil in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the broccoli, bell peppers, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp.
  • Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water. Pour over the vegetables and stir well.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and toss until the sauce thickens and coats everything, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
