Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
For the Stir-Fry
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch ginger grated
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup sliced bell pepper any color
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the wok and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken to the wok and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
