Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced thinly
  • 0.5 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large carrot, sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 pieces green onions, sliced
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the low sodium chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and fresh ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced red bell pepper, carrot, broccoli florets, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes or until they are just tender.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the prepared broth and cornstarch mixture. Add the low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground black pepper.

Step 7

Stir well to combine, cooking until the sauce has thickened and evenly coats the chicken and vegetables, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot over steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
