- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 1/2 cups broccoli florets, chopped into bite-size pieces and rinsed
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon peeled and finely minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, optional
- Stir Fry Sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch, optional
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, optional
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
DIRECTIONS
1. To make the chicken bites stir-fry: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce with cornstarch, then whisk in chicken broth, sesame oil, sriracha, and honey. Set aside. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken bites to skillet, spacing pieces apart in an even layer. Cook chicken through, turning halfway through cooking, about 6 minutes. Transfer chicken bites to a plate, leaving the oil in the skillet.
3. Add another tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add in broccoli, bell pepper, ginger, and garlic, and saute the vegetables until nearly tender about 4 minutes.
4. Give a quick stir to the stir-fry sauce, then pour into the skillet and cook, tossing constantly, until the sauce has thickened and veggies are tender about 1 – 2 minutes.
5. Add chicken back and season with more stir-fry sauce to taste, if desired. Serve the chicken bites stir-fry with broccoli and peppers immediately over rice, cauliflower rice or on its own. If desired sprinkle with red pepper flakes or sesame seeds or drizzle with sriracha. Enjoy!
