Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons honey or light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger or ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
  • ½ red pepper sliced thinly
  • ½ yellow pepper sliced thinly
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bag 6 oz snow peas
  • 1 large 1 cup carrot, sliced thinly on diagonal
  • 1 package 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • ½ - 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine the cornstarch and water together until evenly mixed.
  • Add in the soy sauce, broth, honey or brown sugar, ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk or stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken pieces and let sit while prepping the vegetables.
  • Slice the peppers, mushrooms, carrots, and chop the broccoli into 1 inch florets.
  • In a large skillet, add the oil and and heat over medium high heat.
  • Add the chicken and the marinade to the pan. Cook for 5-7minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
  • Remove the chicken and marinade and set aside in a bowl.
  • Add the rest of the oil to the skillet. Add the peppers, broccoli, and carrots.
  • Cook for 5 minutes or until the veggies start to soften.
  • Add the mushrooms and the snow peas to the rest of the veggies and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the broth to the pan and stir. Add chicken mixture back to pan and continue cooking 3-5 minutes or until liquid is reduced to consistency you like.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and serve immediately.
  • Serve with rice or noodles if desired. I like to garnish mine with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds!

Notes

  • Try Hoisin sauce for a quick marinade.
  • Add green beans or sugar snap peas to mix up the veggies.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce if watching your salt intake.
