Equipment
Ingredients
Chicken and Vegetables
- 3 tbsp butter (divided 1 tablespoon and 1 tablespoon)
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup snow peas
- 1 med red bell pepper (sliced)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 4 tbsp garlic (minced)
Chicken Stir Fry Sauce
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoon over butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add carrots, snow peas, bell pepper, and broccoli to skillet. Cook 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove and place on a plate and cover.
- Add remaining butter and melt. Season chicken with black pepper, salt, and onion powder. Then, add to skillet and cook 6-7 minutes stirring occasionally until all sides are browned.
- Add garlic to the pan and saute for 30 seconds. Add vegetables back into the skillet stirring occasionally.
- In a medium bowl, add soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, sesame seed oil, honey, and cornstarch. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour stir fry sauce over chicken and vegetables stirring occasionally until sauce thickens.
- Serve while hot over rice. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you want to add some spiciness to your dish, incorporate ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
- For even cooking, it's best to cut your vegetables into similar-sized pieces. To ensure the carrots cook quickly, I suggest slicing them very thinly.
- If you prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead, you'll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly by adding 2-3 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Don't hesitate to swap out any of the listed veggies with your personal favorites to suit your taste preferences.
