Make this quick and flavorful honey garlic chicken and vegetable stir fry. The sauce creates a sticky, glossy glaze perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Toss the cut chicken pieces with cornstarch in a bowl until lightly coated.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots to the same skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the vegetables and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water to create the sauce.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the sticky glaze.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Cut the chicken and vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • For a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch coating on the chicken slightly or simmer the sauce longer before adding the chicken back.
  • You can substitute vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or onions based on what you have available.
