Print Recipe

A vibrant and wholesome stir-fry with juicy garlic-marinated chicken, sautéed zucchini, broccoli, and bell peppers—tossed in a savory glaze and cooked in one pan for a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional for balance)
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken with 2 tbsp soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 7–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and sliced onions. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
  5. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Pour over the vegetables and toss to coat.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to warm through.
  7. Sprinkle with chili flakes if desired and serve immediately, over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Add cashews or peanuts for extra crunch and protein.
  • Serve with jasmine rice or soba noodles for a complete meal.
