Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. Slice carrots, bell peppers, celery, onion, and any other chosen vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces.
  3. Blanch harder vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and hot water until smooth to create the slurry.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the chicken pieces to the hot pan and stir-fry until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and remaining raw vegetables to the pan with the chicken.
  8. Pour in the chicken stock and low-sodium soy sauce, stirring to combine.
  9. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
  10. Cover and let the mixture steam for 2-3 minutes to ensure vegetables are tender-crisp.
  11. Uncover and stir until the sauce is glossy and coats the ingredients evenly.
  12. Garnish with sliced green onions, walnuts, or coconut flakes if desired.
  13. Serve immediately over hot steamed rice.
