Ingredients

• 2 cups canned chicken (drained)
• 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot (julienned or thinly sliced)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 stalks green onion (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Toss in the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 4

Add the drained canned chicken to the skillet, breaking it up into bite-sized chunks as you stir. Cook for 2 minutes to warm the chicken through.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, remaining sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce.

Step 6

Pour the sauce into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Remove the stir-fry from the heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles and enjoy!
