This chicken stir fry stands out with its vibrant flavors and quick prep. Packed with tender chicken and fresh vegetables, it’s a fantastic choice for a healthy, homemade meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • ¾ lb. broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 2 carrots, sliced into thin matchsticks
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoon cooking oil, divided

Instructions

  • Prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Chop broccoli, slice red bell pepper, onion, carrots, and green onions; set aside.
  • Cut chicken breasts into small pieces (½-inch).
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons cooking oil, then add chicken. Cook until browned and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add remaining cooking oil along with carrots and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until broccoli is bright green.
  • Add red bell pepper and onion; stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir the sauce again, add the chicken back, and pour sauce over the mixture. Stir and let simmer until sauce thickens and vegetables reach desired tenderness, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the sauce sit for a few minutes before adding it to the stir-fry.
Feel free to substitute or add your favorite vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms.
Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
