Ingredients
  

FOR THE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES:
  • 3 boneless chicken breasts ($7.00, diced into 1 inch pieces)
  • ½ tsp salt ($0.05)
  • ½ tsp pepper ($0.15)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil ($0.40, divided)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets ($1.25, diced into bite size pieces)
  • ½ Yellow Bell Pepper ($0.74, cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • ½ red bell pepper ($0.49, cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • ½ cup carrots ($0.30, shredded)
  • ½ tsp ground ginger ($0.10)
  • 2 tsp minced garlic ($0.20)
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds ($0.15)
FOR THE FRY SAUCE:
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch ($0.10)
  • ¼ cup chicken broth ($0.32)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce ($0.25)
  • 2 tbsp honey ($0.50)

Method
 

  1. Whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ¼ cup chicken broth, ¼ cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons honey in a small bowl, then set the sauce aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 diced boneless chicken breasts, season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, and sauté for 3–5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a separate plate.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add 2 cups broccoli florets, ½ yellow bell pepper, ½ red bell pepper, and ½ cup shredded carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Stir in ½ teaspoon ground ginger and 2 teaspoons minced garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the stir fry sauce over the mixture. Stir to coat evenly, bring to a boil, and cook for 1 minute while stirring until the sauce thickens.
  6. Garnish with 2 tablespoons sesame seeds and serve as is or over rice.
