Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 pound chicken breast, sliced (skinless and boneless)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening sauce)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (to balance flavors)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best flavor, marinate overnight.
  2. Prepare Vegetables

    Chop bell pepper, broccoli, and slice the carrot. Set aside.

    Use fresh vegetables for a crunchy texture.
  3. Heat the Oil

    In a large pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

    Ensure the oil is hot before adding chicken.
  4. Cook the Chicken

    Add marinated chicken to the pan and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
  5. Add Vegetables

    Add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes.

    Keep the vegetables crisp by not overcooking.
  6. Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with chicken broth and add it to the pan. Stir until thickened.

    Adjust thickness with more broth if necessary.
  7. Finish with Seasoning

    Add sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar. Stir well to combine.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve

    Garnish with green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles.

    Pair with steamed rice for a complete meal.
