Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (use Tamari for gluten free) 60 ml
  • 1/4 cup water 60 ml
  • 2 tablespoon honey 30 g
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 15 ml
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 2 teaspoon fresh garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
For the Stir Fry
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil plus more if needed for the vegetables (15 ml)
  • 1.25 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless diced into 3/4-inch cubes (650 g)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups bell peppers diced red and green
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds 5 ml

Equipment

  • Small bowl or jug
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl or jug, combine the sauce ingredients and whisk them briefly. Set the mixture aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken (you can season it with black pepper if you wish) for 5 minutes until it is golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Add more oil to the skillet and sauté the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes until they are just softened. Do not overcook them, as they will cook more with the sauce.
  4. Whisk the sauce again and add it to the skillet. Cook over low-medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water to loosen it.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it well in the sauce. Remove the skillet from the heat, garnish with toasted sesame seeds, and serve over cooked jasmine rice.

Notes

Cut the chicken into pieces of the same size so they cook evenly. When cooking chicken in a cast iron skillet, place the pieces in the skillet and let them cook for 1 minute without moving them to achieve a golden color.
You can add more vegetables like water chestnuts, shredded cabbage, or fresh herbs to the stir fry.
If the sauce thickens too quickly, loosen it with a splash of water. If it does not reach the desired consistency, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of water and add it to the sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers in a skillet with a splash of water until warmed through.
