    How to Make Ginger-Soy Chicken & Broccoli Stir-Fry

    Total time: 20 min · Yields 4 servings

    1. 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. 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.

    3. 3

      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.

    4. 4

      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.

    5. 5

      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.
