Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 cups Cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients. Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the red bell pepper into strips, chop the broccoli into florets, and julienne the carrot.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger to make the sesame sauce.

Step 3

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set it aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sesame sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet while stirring continuously. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the dish and give it a final stir.

Step 9

Serve the Sesame Delight hot over cooked white rice and enjoy!
