Ingredients
For the Stir Fry Sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari sauce, or liquid aminos, or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce or more/less to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
For the Stir Fry
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 bell peppers any color, seeded and chopped or sliced into thin strips
- 2-3 carrots chopped
- 1 cup chopped or sliced onion
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh cilantro for serving
- For serving: Rice or Asian noodles, or lettuce leaves
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Heat the remaining oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, carrots, and onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender-crisp, stirring frequently. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pan with any accumulated juices.
- Whisk the stir fry sauce one more time to ensure the cornstarch isn’t stuck to the bottom of the bowl, then add the mixture to the pan. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Spoon the chicken and vegetables over rice or noodles (or in lettuce leaves), top with cilantro and serve.
