Ingredient List
Ingredients)
100g boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
1/4 cup sliced onions
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp water for thickening
Instructions
First things first, slice up that chicken breast like you're mad at it for being so high in protein.
Heat up a pan or wok with the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add in the sliced chicken and stir-fry until it's cooked through. Give it a pep talk while you're at it - you want it to feel good about itself.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. In the same pan, add in the broccoli, bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and minced garlic.
Stir-fry those veggies until they're nice and tender. Give them a little test - if they're still crunchy, keep stir-frying until they're just right.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch. This is where the magic happens, people.
Add the chicken back into the pan with the veggies, then pour in the sauce. Stir everything together until the sauce has thickened and coated everything in a deliciously savory glaze.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve up your high-protein stir-fry with a side of brown rice or noodles. And don't forget to give yourself a round of applause - you just made a meal that's healthy AND tasty.
