Description

A quick and easy recipe for meal prepping healthy lunches or dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Stir the cornstarch slurry and pour it into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  7. Serve immediately or portion into containers for meal prep.
