Honey Garlic Chicken Stir fry

Honey Garlic Chicken Stir fry

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil divided use
• 1 cup thinly sliced peeled carrots
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons cornflour
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

• Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat.
• Add the broccoli and carrots and cook for approximately 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• Remove the vegetables from the pan; place them on a plate and cover.
• Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and turn the heat to high.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add them to the pan in a single layer – you may need to do this step in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the vegetables back to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes or until the vegetables are warmed through.
• In a bowl whisk together the chicken broth, honey and soy sauce.
• In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water.
• Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables; cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the cornstarch and bring to a boil; cook for 1 more minute or until sauce has just started to thicken.
• Serve immediately, with rice if desired.
