Savor tender chicken and vibrant veggies in this wholesome weight-loss recipe! Perfectly browned chicken with crisp broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots. Quick steps & full nutrition included.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare all ingredients. Cut the chicken breast into uniform 1-inch pieces. Wash and chop the broccoli into small florets. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and carrots. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.
  2. Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and mostly cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add the broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to become tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the sliced red bell pepper and low-sodium soy sauce. Toss everything together to combine, and continue to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the bell pepper is tender-crisp and the chicken is fully cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately as a stand-alone healthy meal or with a small portion of brown rice or quinoa for a complete dish.

Notes

  • Keep any delicious leftovers fresh for up to 3-4 days by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator – perfect for a quick, healthy lunch later!
  • For a quick reheat, the microwave works great, but for that lovely tender-crisp texture, gently warm your stir-fry in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding a tiny splash of water or broth if needed to keep it juicy.
  • While fantastic on its own, this vibrant stir-fry also sings when served alongside a small helping of fluffy brown rice or quinoa, or for an extra pop of freshness, a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds before serving!
  • To ensure your chicken stays juicy and your veggies achieve that perfect tender-crisp bite, always make sure your skillet is screaming hot before adding ingredients, and never overcrowd the pan – cook in batches if needed for optimal browning!
