Ingredients
- 450 grams skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 300 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 120 ml water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, water, honey, and grated ginger until smooth. This will be your stir fry sauce.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 4
Add the chicken strips to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, thinly sliced carrot, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Pour the stir fry sauce into the skillet and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot with brown rice or quinoa if desired.
