Ingredients
  • 500 g Chicken breast, boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup Carrots, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Green beans, trimmed
  • 2 Scallions, green parts only, chopped
  • 1 tsp Ginger, fresh, grated
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • as needed Cooked white rice, for serving

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and the grated ginger. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and green beans. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Cook the Chicken

Push the vegetables to one side of the wok and add the marinated chicken to the other side. Stir-fry the chicken until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine and Season

Mix the chicken and vegetables together. Add the remaining soy sauce and rice vinegar to the wok. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, until everything is well combined and heated through.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with chopped scallions. Serve hot over cooked white rice.
