Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast cubed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots sliced thin
  • Green onion and sesame seeds optional

Sauce:

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½-1 teaspoon fresh ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce * see notes
  • 1 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup chicken broth * see notes
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  • Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons oil in a large pan or wok. 
  • Season your chicken with salt and pepper. Add to the heated skillet and heat until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm.
  • Heat one additional tablespoon of oil in the same pan. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetable begin to soften. 
  • Stir in the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, chicken broth, and corn starch. Add the chicken back to the pan. 
  • Cook 5-7 minutes more or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Serve over rice and sprinkled with green onion and sesame seeds.  

Notes

Feel free to add or take out any vegetables from this recipe. It is very versatile and easy to customize.
I recommend using low sodium soy sauce. Regular soy sauce will work but will be a little more salty in flavor.
We use better than bouillon instead of chicken broth. If you use canned broth, I suggest a low sodium version.
