Honey Garlic Chicken Stir-Fry Quick and Tasty Meal
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into strips
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot julienned
- 2 green onions sliced
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the sliced chicken thighs and stir until well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the marinated chicken to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to ensure everything is well-coated. Let it cook for an additional minute to thicken the sauce slightly.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
