A delicious and crispy chicken stir-fry loaded with colorful veggies, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for another minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to combine.
- Return the crispy chicken to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
- Substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
