Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 300 grams broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 60 milliliters low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Step 3

Mix the cornstarch with the cold water in a separate bowl to create a slurry and set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Once heated, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying quickly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 8

Add the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 9

Return the chicken to the pan, combine well with the vegetables, and pour in the soy sauce mixture.

Step 10

Stir the cornstarch slurry once more and add it to the pan, stirring constantly to combine.

Step 11

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.

Step 12

Sprinkle chopped green onions on top before serving.

Step 13

Serve the stir fry hot, optionally over cooked brown rice or quinoa.
