How to Make Cherry Chicken Stir Fry

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  2. Cut 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 1 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1 cup broccoli florets, and 1/2 cup sliced red onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  5. Stir in 1 cup pitted fresh cherries (or frozen, thawed) and the prepared sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve hot over cooked white rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional).
