I wonder if it will become one of your favorites like it is for me?

Here is how I made it this past week.

Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup sweet red peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 6 Tbsp. honey
  • 3 tsp. cornstarch

Directions:

Heat 1-2 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  While oil is heating up, steam carrots in microwave for 3-4 minutes.

Season chicken cubes with salt and pepper to taste.  Allow to rest.

Add broccoli, carrots, red peppers, and zucchini to skillet.  Stir fry until vegetables are tender (approx. 3-4 mins.).

Remove veggies from skillet, and allow to rest.

Add remaining oil to skillet and stir fry seasoned chicken.  Cook 3-4 minutes on each side.

Add the chopped garlic, and cook for approx. 30 seconds.

Add the veggies back to the pan, and cook for a couple more minutes until the veggies are warmed through.

In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, and soy sauce.  Pour over chicken and veggies.  Cook for one minute.

Whisk cornstarch with equal amount of cold water.  Add to skillet.  Bring to a boil, and cook for another minutes or so until sauce begins to thicken.

Serve over rice.

Enjoy!

Cheers & Hugs,

  19. This sounds yumalicious! Although, I may switch the garlic cloves with some garlic powder or maybe just use less garlic (I have to kiss Benjamin, you know!). Thank-you for another easy recipe.

  23. I love making chicken-vegetable stir fry, but I’ve never added the garlic and honey (except once I marinated the chicken in honey and soy sauce before I fried it). I’m going to try it! Plus, thanks for the tip on steaming the carrots first. The only problem I have with making stir fry is getting the carrots cooked enough without overcooking the other veggies. This recipe solves that. Thanks!!

    • Oh I hope you try it Ann, and let me know what you think! I think it is the best ever. I had the same issue with carrots until I figured out to steam them a bit first. It makes it perfect! ENJOY!!
