Why This Recipe Is So Delicious

A perfect balance of protein and vegetables, offering a nutritious and satisfying meal. It cooks quickly, making it ideal for busy weeknights. The vibrant colors and fresh flavors make it both healthy and delicious.

Kitchen Advice

- Cut the chicken into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use high heat to keep the vegetables crisp and maintain their bright color.
- Add garlic and ginger early for a more aromatic base.

Step 1

Stir the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a bowl or a zip-top bag. Add the chicken pieces, toss to coat them well, then seal the bag (squeeze out the air first) or cover the bowl. Pop it in the fridge for at least half an hour to let the flavors soak in.

Step 2

While that marinates, dissolve the bouillon granules in a bowl of boiling water. Stir in the rest of the cornstarch and the ginger until everything is well combined.

Step 3

Heat half of the canola oil and a tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, toss in the broccoli, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry the veggies until they’re just tender but still have a bit of crunch, about 5 to 7 minutes. Scoop them out and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining canola and sesame oil to the same pan, then add the marinated chicken along with the crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside—this usually takes around 7 to 10 minutes.

Step 5

Once the chicken is done, throw the veggies back into the skillet. Pour in the bouillon mixture and stir everything together until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables nicely. If you like, toss in some almonds for a little extra crunch before serving.

Serving Recommendations

Serve this stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions can add extra texture and flavor. Pair it with a light soup or a simple salad to round out the dinner.

How To Store For Later

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to avoid overcooking the vegetables. For longer storage, freeze in portions and thaw overnight before reheating.
