Instructions
- Prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water in a bowl. Set aside.
- Chop broccoli into florets and slice bell pepper, onion, and carrots. Set them aside with the green onions.
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and coat the pan. Cook the chicken until browned, then remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining oil, then stir-fry carrots and broccoli for a minute until bright green.
- Add the bell pepper and onion, stir-frying for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the sauce again and return cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the mixture and combine, allowing it to simmer for a couple of minutes until sauce thickens and vegetables soften to your liking.
- Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve.
Notes
For more flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
