Description
A quick and delicious Sweet and Savory Chicken Stir-Fry that combines tender chicken with vibrant vegetables and a flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch mixture. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
- For added heat, include a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha in the sauce.
- Substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
