How to Make Ginger-Soy Chicken & Broccoli Stir-Fry
Total time: 20 min · Yields 4 servings
- 1
Whisk the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Whisk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and set aside.
- 2
Sear the Chicken
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Toss in the broccoli and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green but still crisp. Add a splash of water if the pan looks too dry to steam the broccoli slightly.

Aromatics and Finish
Lower heat to medium-high. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the center of the pan, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the chicken to the pan.

Thicken and Serve
Give the sauce mixture a quick stir and pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Toss constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy coating. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
- Cut all ingredients before turning on the stove; stir-frying happens very fast.
- Slice chicken across the grain for the most tender texture.
- Use a high-smoke point oil like canola, peanut, or avocado oil rather than olive oil.
What to Serve with Ginger-Soy Chicken & Broccoli Stir-Fry
The garlic butter sauce is the star — pick sides that soak it up or balance the richness.
- Serve over steamed jasmine rice or brown rice.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- Pair with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely. Replace the chicken with extra-firm pressed tofu or a double portion of mushrooms.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
