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

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, toss the sliced chicken with cornstarch until evenly coated. This helps to give the chicken a crispy texture.
  3. 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.
  4. In the same skillet, add the mixed bell peppers and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  5. 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.
  6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the chicken and vegetables.
  7. Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to blend.
  8. 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.
