Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a medium bowl, mix the chicken with the soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it marinate while you prepare other ingredients.
Step 2
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Cut the carrot into thin matchsticks. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender.
Step 6
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are well coated with the sauce.
Step 7
Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry along with the sesame seeds.
Step 8
Serve the stir-fry hot, optionally over cooked rice or noodles.
