Ingredients

For chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets cut into pieces
  • ½ tsp Salt to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper

For sauce

  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic grated
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch

For serving

  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds to garnish
  • 1 tablespoon spring onion to garnish
  • 1 cup cooked rice to serve

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Add the cornstarch and stir until the chicken is coated.
  • Heat a deep skillet on a medium flame, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is heated add in the chicken pieces . Cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken pieces and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet and add in the red bell peppers and broccoli florets. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the veggies are slightly cooked.
  • Meanwhile in a small bowl combine the sauce ingredients; ginger, garlic, chicken broth, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch.
  • Stir the chicken back into the skillet along with the sauce and cook for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  • Finally add the green onions and sesame seeds, toss it and serve with a bowl of rice.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 15–30 minutes in teriyaki sauce for deeper flavor.
  • Don’t overcook. You want the the veggies to be “just” tender.
  • Use High Heat. This ensures quick cooking and prevents soggy veggies.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan. Cook chicken in batches for even browning.
  • Cut Ingredients Evenly. This helps everything cook at the same rate.
