Ingredients

Scale

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
2 carrots, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch ginger root, grated
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prep your ingredients: Wash and cut all vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt. Cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
Add aromatics and veggies: Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant. Then add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots; stir-fry until veggies are crisp-tender.
Create the sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch mixture. Pour into the skillet with the veggies.
Combine everything: Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly in the sauce while simmering for an additional two minutes to thicken slightly.
Finish off: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the stir fry before serving hot over rice or noodles.
