Ingredients

  • Boneless chicken breast - 250 grams
  • Broccoli florets - 100 grams
  • Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
  • Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
  • Snow peas - 50 grams
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons (ensure it's kosher)
  • Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Honey - 1 tablespoon
  • Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
  • Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
  • Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste

Steps

  1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This will be your sauce.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli, carrot, bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving. Serve hot with rice or noodles if desired.
