Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos, divided)
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (divided)
  • 1 tsp honey or brown sugar (optional, for marinade)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or grapeseed oil (divided)
  • 1 small head broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil (for finishing)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine chicken with 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce, half of the grated ginger, half of the minced garlic, and the optional honey/sugar. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon of avocado or grapeseed oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add half of the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer (do not overcrowd). Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken, adding more oil if needed.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add carrots and onions and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Add bell pepper and broccoli florets. Continue to stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Return all cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the remaining soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Toss well to combine and heat through, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, drizzle with toasted sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
