What You'll Need
Good ingredients make all the difference! Here's your shopping list:
Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. Tip: Boneless, skinless cooks evenly and stays tender.
Veggies:
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup snow peas
- Optional: Mushrooms, zucchini – whatever you like! Seasonal veggies are best.
Sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Other:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Green onions (for garnish)
Let's Cook!
- Prep the chicken: Marinate it in 1 tablespoon soy sauce for 15 minutes (optional, but yummy!).
- Make the sauce: Whisk everything together in a bowl. Easy peasy!
- Stir-fry the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or pan. Cook the chicken until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- Stir-fry the veggies: Add the rest of the oil. Stir-fry the onion and peppers first, then the broccoli and carrots, and finally the snow peas.
- Combine: Add the chicken back in. Pour the sauce over everything. Stir until thickened. Tip: Keep stirring to avoid burning.
- Serve: Serve hot over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
Make it your own!
- Spice it up: Add more red pepper flakes or sriracha.
- Add protein: Shrimp, tofu, or beef would be great.
- Veggie swap: Use whatever veggies you have on hand!
- Sauce it up: Experiment with oyster sauce, hoisin, or sweet chili sauce. Peanut butter is surprisingly good!
- Prep ahead: Chop veggies and make the sauce the day before.
- Leftovers: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
