Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb. chicken breast boneless, skinless; cut into bite-size pieces
- salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil plus more as needed
- 16 oz. frozen stir fry vegetables
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 green onions chopped
- sesame seeds for garnish optional
for the sauce:
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Cut the chicken and season it with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook it until it's cooked through, about 5 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon.
- To that same skillet, pour in the frozen vegetables, along with a splash of additional oil. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, then place a lid on the skillet and continue cooking until the vegetables have softened. NOTE: you may need to add 1 tablespoon of water.
- While the vegetables are cooking, make the sauce. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk the broth, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch together.
- Remove the lid from the skillet, then add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the chicken back into the skillet, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Pour in the sauce and allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally until it's thickened, then toss the chicken and veggies into the sauce.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!
