Ingredients
- For the sauce:
- ⅓ cup soy sauce low sodium
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or sub coconut sugar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger freshly grated
- ½ tablespoon arrowroot starch or cornstarch
- For the stir fry:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted or regular, divided
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless skinless, diced into ½ inch chunks
- 1 red bell pepper large, chopped into large chunks
- 1 red onion small, chopped into large chunks
- 1 broccoli head, cut into florets, about 4 cups
- 1 cup pineapple fresh or frozen, chunks
- For serving:
- brown rice or coconut rice, cooked, for serving
- scallions chopped fresh, for topping
Instructions
- First make your stir fry sauce: in a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, rice wine vinegar, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and arrowroot starch (or cornstarch). Set aside.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil to a deep skillet and place over medium heat. Add diced chicken breast and cook until no longer pink, about 5-8 minutes. Once cooked, transfer meat to a bowl and set aside. Keep the heat in the pan.
- In the same pan, add the remaining ½ tablespoon sesame oil. Add in bell pepper chunks, onion chunks and broccoli. Cook, stirring frequently for 5-8 minutes until broccoli is slightly tender but still has a bite. Stir in pineapple and cooked chicken breast. Pour sauce over and bring to a slight simmer then reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes until sauce begins to thicken.
- Serve with brown rice, coconut rice or quinoa for a healthy dinner. Garnish with scallions. Serves 4.
Notes
- This recipe would be excellent with my coconut rice.
- If you want to make vegetarian, I suggest using tofu or chickpeas instead of chicken.
