Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large carrot
• 1 cup snow peas
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Thinly slice 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli florets (2 cups), slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, thinly slice the carrot, trim the snow peas (1 cup), and slice the medium onion.

Step 3

Mince 3 cloves of garlic and grate 1 teaspoon of ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix 1.5 teaspoons of cornstarch with 1 cup of chicken broth to form a slurry. Then, add 3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce and stir together.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the sliced chicken to the skillet, season with 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the broccoli, carrots, red bell peppers, and snow peas to the skillet, stir-frying for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and pour the soy sauce and chicken broth mixture over the stir fry.

Step 10

Stir well to combine all ingredients, letting the sauce thicken as it cooks, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Add the grated ginger, toss everything together well, and serve hot.
