Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 300 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli into small florets, dice the red bell pepper into strips, and mince the garlic and ginger finely.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the stir-fry sauce by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, honey, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

In another small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 2 tablespoons of water. Set this slurry aside for thickening the sauce later.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips to the skillet. Stir-fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender.

Step 8

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly.

Step 10

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring continuously. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, until it thickens and clings to the chicken and vegetables.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the stir-fry with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Step 12

Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy your Spicy Tangy Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry!
