Main Dish

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
  2. Add the sliced chicken breast to the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  4. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  5. Add broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving, if desired.

Tips for Soy-Glazed Chicken Stir-Fry

  • Cut the vegetables to similar thickness so they soften evenly while staying crisp.
  • Use a wide pan and avoid crowding it; a crowded pan can make the chicken and vegetables steam instead of brown.
  • The glaze should look lightly glossy and cling to the chicken; the vegetables should remain bright with a little bite.

Drink pairing

A dry Riesling
Its bright acidity and subtle fruit complement the savory soy glaze without overwhelming the crisp vegetables.

0% option: Chilled sparkling water with a squeeze of lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is cooked?
The pieces should be opaque throughout with no pink center; cut the thickest piece to check.

Can I prepare this ahead?
You can slice the chicken and vegetables ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator; for the best crisp texture, stir-fry just before serving.

What should I serve with this stir-fry?
Steamed rice or noodles make a simple base, or serve it on its own for a lighter meal.
