Serves 4

Ingredients

Chicken breast: 1 pound, sliced into thin strips
Carrots: 2 medium, julienned
Bell peppers: 2, sliced (any color)
Broccoli florets: 2 cups
Green onions: 3, sliced (for garnish)
Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
Ginger: 1 tablespoon, grated
Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons
Soy sauce: 3 tablespoons
Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons
Honey: 3 tablespoons
Salt: to taste
Pepper: to taste
Cooked rice: 4 cups (for serving)

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a rich honey mustard sauce. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and julienned carrots. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is heated through.
Serve the honey mustard chicken stir fry over a bed of cooked rice, and garnish with sliced green onions.

Tips

💡 For a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the honey mustard sauce.
💡 Feel free to swap out or add other vegetables like snap peas, zucchini, or cauliflower for variety.
💡 This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp salad or steamed dumplings for a complete meal.
