Easy Chicken & Vegetable Stir-Fry🍗🥦.

📝Ingredients List:

•500g (cut into thin, bite-sized strips)
•1 medium broccoli (cut into small florets)
•1 medium carrots (cut into thin matchsticks)
•½ medium red onion (thinly sliced)
•Handful cherry tomatoes (halved)
•2 tbsp (vegetable, canola, or sesame oil)
•Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
•1 tsp Dark Soy Sauce
•1 tsp Oyster Sauce
•1 tsp Honey
•Juice of ½ a lemon
•1 tsp Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
•Green Chili 1 small (sliced, optional for garnish)
•Steamed white rice

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1️⃣ Sear the Chicken:

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they start to turn golden brown (about 4–5 minutes).

2️⃣ Add the Veggies:

Toss in the broccoli florets and carrot matchsticks. Stir-fry everything together for another 2–3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften but still keep a bit of their crunch.

3️⃣ Sauce it Up:

Pour in the soy sauce, dark soy/oyster sauce, and honey. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice straight into the pan. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the chicken and veggies are completely glazed in the bubbling sauce.

4️⃣ The Fresh Toss:

Turn off the heat. Toss in the sliced red onions and cherry tomatoes, giving it one final mix. (Leaving the heat off keeps the onions crisp and prevents the tomatoes from bursting).

Enjoy your meal!
