Ingredients

For the Stir Fry Sauce

  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil

For the Stir Fry

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized cubes
  • ½ carrot sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 8 oz. mushrooms sliced
  • ½ onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

  • In a wok or large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
