A quick and flavorful chicken stir-fry with broccoli and bell pepper, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: slice chicken thinly, chop broccoli and bell pepper, mince garlic and ginger, and whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and honey.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil.
  3. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Add chicken in a single layer and sear until golden and just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.
  4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Toss in garlic and ginger and stir for 20 to 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add broccoli and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan and pour the soy sauce mixture over everything. Stir to combine and let the sauce bubble for about 1 minute.
  7. Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir, then pour it into the pan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 30 to 60 seconds.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more honey if you prefer sweeter.
  9. Serve immediately over hot rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce and omit oyster sauce. For vegetarian, replace chicken with firm tofu.
