Ingredients
Scale

- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- ¾ lb. broccoli, cut into small florets
- 2 carrots, sliced into thin matchsticks
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lb. total, cut into small bite-sized pieces)
- 3 tablespoon cooking oil, divided
Instructions
- Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl to make the stir fry sauce, then set aside.
- Chop broccoli into small florets, slice red bell pepper, onion, and carrots into similar-sized pieces, and set aside.
- Cut chicken breasts into small ½-inch pieces.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, adding 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once hot, add chicken and cook until browned, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, carrots, and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the broccoli is bright green.
- Add red bell pepper and onion to the skillet, stir-frying for another 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the sauce again, then return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the stir fry sauce over everything and stir together, allowing to simmer for 1-2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and vegetables reach desired tenderness.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve.
Notes
Feel free to add any vegetables you have on hand, such as snap peas or zucchini.
