Ingredients
1.5 lbs Chicken Breast or Thighs (boneless, skinless)
3 cups Fresh Broccoli Florets
2 large Carrots (peeled and sliced into rounds)
3 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (grated)
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Honey or Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
2 tablespoons Sesame Oil or Avocado Oil
1/4 cup Chicken Broth or Water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Ensure the cornstarch dissolves completely
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced chicken in a single layer. Let it sear for 3 minutes without moving it, then stir and cook for another 2 minutes until cooked through. Remove chicken from the pa
- Add the remaining oil to the same pan. Toss in the broccoli and carrots. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes. If the vegetables seem too dry, add a splash of water and cover the pan for 60 seconds to steam them slightly
- Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the center. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then mix them into the vegetables
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Give the sauce mixture another quick whisk and pour it over the stir-fry. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens
- Remove from heat and serve while piping hot
