Ingredients
For the Stir-Fry Sauce:
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
- 1 tbsp dry sherry (optional, but adds a little extra magic!)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
For the Stir-Fry:
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, deseeded & chopped
- 1 small carrot, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
For Garnish (Optional, but Recommended!):
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 green onion, sliced
Instructions
Mix Up the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients: chicken broth, tamari, dry sherry (if using), honey, sesame oil, vinegar, and cornstarch. Set it aside for later.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and let it brown for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Veggies
- Using the same pan, add another 1 tablespoon of oil and toss in the red bell pepper, onion, carrot, and broccoli. Stir-fry until the veggies are just tender, about 3–4 minutes.
Bring It All Together
- Add the chicken back into the pan, along with the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the prepared sauce and cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens and coats everything beautifully.
Serve & Enjoy
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onion, then serve hot over rice, noodles, or enjoy it as is!
Notes
Storage & Meal Prep Tips
- Refrigerate: Let it cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. It keeps well for 4–5 days.
- Freeze: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months—rice included!
- Tip: Use low-sodium tamari soy sauce to keep the flavors balanced without being too salty.
