Lemon Ginger Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Chicken breast (1 pound, sliced into thin strips)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
• Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons, low-sodium)
• Honey (1 tablespoon)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Broccoli florets (1 cup)
• Bell pepper (1, sliced (any color))
• Carrot (1, julienned)
• Green onions (2, sliced (for garnish))
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and honey to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, cooking for 5-6 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sliced bell pepper. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the remaining marinade. Stir fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well coated and heated through.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
8. Serve the lemon ginger chicken stir fry over a bed of warm cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
