Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), cut into strips
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash broccoli florets and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the carrots. Cut chicken breasts into strips.
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch mixture. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken in a single layer; cook until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
- Add Vegetables: Push chicken to one side of the pan; add broccoli and carrots on the other side. Stir-fry together for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Make the Sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch with water in a small bowl. Pour over stir-fry; toss well until everything is coated and sauce thickens (about 1 minute).
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
