A quick and healthy Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Slice chicken thinly, chop broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice bell pepper and carrots, mince garlic, and grate ginger. Have soy sauce measured and rice or noodles ready.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat.
  3. Add sliced chicken in a single layer. Let it sear undisturbed for 1–2 minutes, then stir and continue cooking until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add a touch more oil if needed. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots. Stir-fry, tossing frequently, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4–5 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan and pour in 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce coats the ingredients.
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.

Notes

For a glossy sauce, whisk 1 teaspoon cornstarch into 2 tablespoons warm water and add at the end to thicken. You can also substitute the olive oil for peanut or vegetable oil.
