The perfect meal for those busy nights.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 Cups broccoli florets

  • 1 Onion sliced into thin slices

  • 1 Yellow or orange pepper, sliced

  • 2 Medium carrots shaved

  • Salt & Pepper

  • 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds

  • 2 Cups cooked brown rice

  • For The Sauce

  • 1/4 Cup light soy sauce

  • 2 Tablespoons honey

  • 2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar

  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 Clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 Teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1/4 Teaspoon fresh ginger, ground

Directions

  • Add all the ingredients for the sauce in a small mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Set to the side.
  • Place a large pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken pieces, a few at a time as to not crowd them. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until no longer pink. Remove from pan and place in a dish. Repeat with the remaining chicken until all the chicken is cooked. Keep cooked chicken on the side.
  • Add the onions and peppers to the hot pan and drizzle with olive oil. Stir fry the onions and peppers until soft and slightly browned. Toss the broccoli and the shaved carrots into the pan with the onions and peppers. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the cooked chicken and the sauce and toss to coat. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce slightly thickens. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Serve on a bed of brown rice.
  • Enjoy.
