Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • Cooked brown rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the cornstarch until evenly coated.

Cook the Chicken:

  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce:

  1. In the same skillet, add the sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and honey. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Cook the Vegetables:

  1. Add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine Everything:

  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat it with the sauce and vegetables.
  2. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top.

Serve:

  1. Serve the high protein sesame chicken over cooked brown rice or quinoa for a complete and balanced meal.
