Ingredients

This stir fry features juicy chicken breast or thigh pieces seared until golden, tossed with vibrant vegetables, and coated in a glossy sauce. It’s fast, simple, and versatile—you can swap in different vegetables or proteins and adjust spice levels to your preference.

Instructions

  • 1 ½ lbs chicken breasts or thighs, cut into thin strips

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 cup snow peas or green beans

  • 2 carrots, julienned

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

  • Sesame seeds, optional garnish

For the Sauce:

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ¼ cup soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)

  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

Notes

  • Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, honey, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.

  • Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  • Sauté vegetables: Add remaining oil to the skillet. Stir in garlic and ginger, then add bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snow peas. Cook 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.

  • Combine chicken and sauce: Return chicken to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir until everything is coated and the sauce thickens.

  • Serve hot: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.
