This is a great weeknight meal because it comes together really quickly and it's super healthy.
Speaker A
So let's get started with the ingredients.
Speaker A
First, you're going to need about a pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces.
Speaker A
Then we have about two cups of broccoli florets, one red bell pepper sliced, and a quarter cup of soy sauce.
Speaker A
We also need two tablespoons of honey, one tablespoon of rice vinegar, one tablespoon of sesame oil, and two cloves of minced garlic.
Speaker A
Finally, we'll need one tablespoon of grated fresh ginger and a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with two tablespoons of water.
Speaker A
This is going to be our thickening agent for the sauce.
Speaker A
Now, let's get to the cooking.
Speaker A
In a large skillet or wok, heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Speaker A
Add the chicken and cook until it's browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Speaker A
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Speaker A
In the same skillet, add the broccoli and bell pepper and stir fry for about 3 to 5 minutes until they're tender-crisp.
Speaker A
While the vegetables are cooking, let's make our sauce.
Speaker A
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Speaker A
Once the vegetables are tender-crisp, add the cooked chicken back to the skillet.
Speaker A
Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and stir to combine.
Speaker A
Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Speaker A
Then, add the cornstarch slurry and stir constantly until the sauce thickens, which should take about one to two minutes.
Speaker A
And that's it.
Speaker A
Your delicious chicken and broccoli stir fry is ready to serve.
Speaker A
You can serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Speaker A
Enjoy.
