  • carrot, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • low-sodium soy sauce
  • sesame oil
  • low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add chopped chicken pieces to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger to the pan once the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add 1 cup of chopped bok choy, 1 sliced bell pepper, and 1 thinly sliced carrot to the skillet.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover stir fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to let it cool completely before sealing to maintain freshness.

Reheating: Reheat the stir fry in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until warm.

Serving: Serve the stir fry hot, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation. It pairs well with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Chef’s Tip: For extra flavor, try marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for 15-30 minutes before cooking. This enhances the taste and tenderness of the chicken.
