Ingredients

▢ 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

▢ 2 cups broccoli florets

▢ 1 red bell pepper, sliced

▢ 1 orange bell pepper, sliced

▢ 1 carrot, thinly sliced

▢ 1 cup snow peas

▢ 1 small yellow onion, sliced

▢ 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

▢ 3 cloves garlic, minced

▢ 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

▢ 1/4 cup chicken broth

▢ 1 tablespoon sesame oil

▢ 2 teaspoons cornstarch

▢ 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

▢ 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

▢ 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions

1. Prep the chicken and chop all the vegetables into uniform, bite-sized pieces.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, sesame oil, cornstarch, and balsamic vinegar until smooth.

3. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

4. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and sliced carrot to the same pan. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.

5. Add broccoli, bell peppers, and snow peas. Stir-fry for another 3–5 minutes until veggies are tender-crisp.

6. Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir and simmer for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

7. Serve hot over rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

• You can swap chicken with tofu for a plant-based version.

• Great for meal prep—keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days.

• Adjust cayenne to taste or omit entirely for a milder version.
