Prepare this quick, one-pan chicken and vegetable dish using a simple honey soy glaze. This recipe is suitable for a fast weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced thinly
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
  • Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the cut chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables start to become tender-crisp.
  4. While vegetables cook, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat everything in the sauce.
  7. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  8. Cook for 1 more minute until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  9. Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For a variation, substitute the broccoli with snap peas or use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, increase the minced garlic to 3 cloves.
  • To make this gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
