  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil (divided use)

– 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces

– 2 cups broccoli florets

– 1 red bell pepper (seeded, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces)

– 1 yellow onion finely chopped

– 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

– 3 tablespoons soy sauce

– 1 tablespoon honey

– 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)

– 2 teaspoons cornstarch

– 2 tablespoons sliced green onions

– 1/3 cup toasted cashews or almonds

– salt and pepper to taste

– optional cooked brown rice, quinoa, or basmati rice for serving

Instructions

1-Getting started with this spicy chicken stir fry bowl is simple and fun. Begin by preparing your ingredients: cut the chicken into pieces and chop the veggies to make cooking smooth. This step helps everything come together quickly and keeps the flavors fresh.

2-Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes until it’s softened and lightly browned. Add the broccoli with 1 tablespoon water and cook for about 3 minutes until tender, then stir in the bell pepper and ginger, cooking for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the vegetables to a plate and cover to keep them warm.

3-Wipe the pan clean and add the remaining oil. Cook the seasoned chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Return the vegetables to the pan and mix in the sauce: combine soy sauce, honey, and chili garlic sauce in one bowl, and whisk cornstarch with 2 teaspoons cold water in another before adding it to the sauce mixture.

4-Pour the sauce into the pan, turn the heat to high, bring it to a boil, and cook for 30 seconds until thickened. Finally, garnish with toasted cashews and sliced green onions before serving.
