Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Honey
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 10 g Fresh ginger
- 10 g Cornstarch
- 30 ml Vegetable oil
- 300 g Mixed bell peppers
- 200 g Broccoli florets
- 100 g Carrots
- 1 medium Onion
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 60 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breast into thin bite-sized strips and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, honey, finely minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch. Stir in the water until smooth and set aside.
Step 3
Chop the mixed bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat 15 ml of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are lightly browned and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 15 ml of vegetable oil. Add the chopped onion and carrots, cooking for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Next, add the broccoli and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Step 8
Serve the chicken stir fry immediately over warm, cooked white rice.
