Recipe: Stir-Fried Broccoli and Carrots with Chicken

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until nearly cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

For the stir-fried vegetables, add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Cook the chopped garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add broccoli florets and carrots, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 4-5 minutes.

Assemble the dish by returning the cooked chicken to the pan. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat evenly.

For serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds and fried onions if desired. Serve the stir-fry hot over steamed or fried rice.
