Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup snap peas
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp sliced green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken pieces dry. Toss with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chicken broth, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same skillet, add broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  5. Add snap peas, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Combine everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce.
  7. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to coat the chicken and vegetables.
  8. Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Slowly pour the slurry into the skillet while stirring.
  9. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy and sticky.
  10. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
  • Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
