Make this fast, one-pan honey garlic chicken stir fry for an easy weeknight dinner. The sauce is sweet, savory, and sticky, coating juicy chicken and crisp vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water (slurry)
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger. Set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the broccoli florets and sliced bell pepper to the same skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  6. Stir the cornstarch slurry again and pour it into the simmering sauce. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky, about 1 minute.
  7. Remove from heat. Serve immediately over cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For juicier chicken, avoid overcrowding the pan when searing the meat; cook in batches if necessary.
  • You can substitute other vegetables like carrots or snap peas based on what you have available.
  • To make this a low-carb meal, serve the stir fry over cauliflower rice instead of white rice.
