Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (use Tamari for gluten free)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 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
  • 1.25 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless, diced into ¾-inch cubes
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups bell peppers diced (red and green)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

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 freshly cracked 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 cook them too long, as they will cook more with the sauce.
  4. Whisk the sauce mixture 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 small amount of water to loosen it.
  5. Add the chicken back into 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 to help them cook evenly.
When cooking the 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 to the stir fry, such as water chestnuts, shredded cabbage, or fresh herbs.
If the sauce thickens too quickly, loosen it with a splash of water. If it does not reach the consistency you want, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon of water.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water until warmed through.
