Honey Garlic Chicken Stir-Fry Simple and Tasty Meal
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into strips
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, green)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish sesame seeds and chopped green onions
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
- In another bowl, toss the sliced chicken with cornstarch until evenly coated. This helps to give the chicken a crispy texture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the mixed bell peppers and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, then pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the chicken and vegetables.
- Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to blend.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
💡 Chef's Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
