Ingredients
- 7 oz chicken breast, sliced thin
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- ½ cup bell pepper strips
½ cup cooked brown rice
- Sauce: 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, 2 tsp honey, 1 tsp ginger, 2 cloves garlic
Directions
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat a wok or large pan over high heat until very hot.
- Add 1 tbsp oil. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes until browned. Remove.
- Add another ½ tbsp oil. Add broccoli and snap peas, toss frequently 3 minutes.
Add bell pepper, cook 1–2 more minutes.
- Return chicken to pan. Pour sauce over everything.
- Toss quickly — sauce thickens in about 1 minute. Serve over brown rice.
Notes
The key to great stir-fry is a very hot pan and keeping everything moving. Cook in small batches if needed — overcrowding the pan causes steaming instead of stir-frying. All ingredients should be prepped before you turn on the heat.
