Ingredients

• 300 grams Chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 150 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced thinly
• 2 medium Carrots, julienned
• 100 grams Snow peas
• 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns, crushed
• 1 teaspoon Chili paste or chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 100 milliliters Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Cooked brown rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your ingredients by slicing the chicken and vegetables as specified, and mincing the garlic and ginger before starting to cook.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, crushed Szechuan peppercorns, chili paste, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely, and set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add sesame oil along with the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrots, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the pan, and pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients. Toss everything together until evenly coated and the sauce thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the stir-fry from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately, optionally over cooked brown rice for a complete meal.
