Equipment

  • 1 Large Pan or Wok

Ingredients
  

For the Stir Fry:

  • 1 Pound Chicken Breast Boneless & Skinless, largely diced
  • 2 Tablespoons Drizzles of Olive Oil Divided
  • 1 Large Yellow Bell Pepper Largely diced
  • 1 Large Red Bell Pepper Largely diced
  • 2 Large Carrots Sliced
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt Divided
  • 1 Teaspoon Pepper Divided

For the Stir Fry Sauce:

  • 1 Tablespoon Corn Starch
  • 2 Tablespoons Cold Water
  • ¼ Cup Chicken Broth
  • ¼ Cup Honey
  • ¼ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • ½ Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Teaspoon Sesame Seeds + more to top
  • 2 Teaspoons Ginger Minced
  • 3 Large Garlic Cloves Minced

Instructions
 

  • Mix your corn starch and water in a medium container to form a slurry. Then add in all of your other stir fry sauce ingredients (chicken broth, honey, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, crushed red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, minced ginger and minced garlic). Set aside for later use.
  • Add a drizzle of olive oil to a large wok or pan and set it to medium high heat. When the pan begins to heat, add in your chicken pieces, season them with ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper and let them cook through for at least 4-5 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 F. When the chicken is cooked through, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a separate plate.
  • Add an additional tablespoon of olive oil to your pan and then add in your vegetables (your bell peppers and carrots). Season them with ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ Teaspoon of pepper and cook for around 2-3 minutes or until they begin to soften. Add your chicken back into the pan, lower your heat and stir your vegetables for an additional 30 seconds or so.
  • Grab your stir fry sauce, give it a quick whisk, and then add it back into the pan with your chicken and vegetables. Give it a stir until the sauce is well distributed. Let it heat back up to a small boil for an additional minute or so. It will begin to thicken up. Remove it from heat and serve over brown rice! Add additional sesame seeds to top as desired!
