Instructions
- Sauté the Veggies: Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bell pepper, carrots, onion and broccoli. (You can test to see if the oil is hot by throwing in a little bit of water) Cook vegetables for 3-4 minutes or until they’re brightly colored and slightly tender. Remove from the wok and set on a plate.
- Cook the Chicken: Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok. Once heated, carefully add the chicken pieces and spread out in a single layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the Sauce and Serve: While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the stir-fry sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Pour it in with the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened. Mix in the vegetables and continue cooking for another minute, or until they’re heated through. Serve over rice with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- Save some time by chopping the veggies and cutting the chicken into small chunks. Just keep everything in the fridge.
- Storage Directions:
- Keep leftover chicken and veggies in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-5 days. Freeze chicken in an airtight, freezer-safe container. It will keep for up to 3-6 months. For best results, warm leftover chicken back up in a skillet over medium heat. Or you can simply pop it in the microwave.
- Recipe Tips:
- Nutrition information is calculated without rice, green onions, or sesame seeds.
- Same size. Be sure to cut the chicken and veggies into similarly-sized chunks so they cook at the same rate.
- Keep it separate. Cook the meat and vegetables at different times.
- Wait for it. Add the sauce after everything is thoroughly cooked.
- Make it yours. The sauce can be spicy or mild depending on your personal preferences. Some red pepper flakes add a kick, as well.
