Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from marinade (discard remaining marinade) and add to the hot skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and onion to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately over cooked white rice.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- You can use other vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or zucchini.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
