How to Make Vegetable Chicken Stir Fry

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce until completely smooth. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces), 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon minced ginger. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, keeping it warm.
  4. Add another 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 cup cauliflower florets, and 1 cup sliced carrots. Stir-fry for 4 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  5. Add 1 cup snow peas and stir-fry for 2 more minutes.
  6. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 1 minute).
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to combine, ensuring it's heated through.
  8. Garnish with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
