Prep 20 min · Cook 15 min · Serves 3

Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 Broccoli florets
• 1 Bell pepper, red
• 1 cup Carrots
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp Creamy peanut butter
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sriracha
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 0 Cooked rice

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, rice vinegar, and sriracha to create the sauce. Set aside.

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from wok and set aside.

Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots to the same wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Add grated ginger and minced garlic to the vegetables, stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

Return cooked chicken to the wok. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss to coat everything evenly.

Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Serve immediately over cooked rice.
