🧾 Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (for cooking)

For the Stir-Fry Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1–2 tbsp water (to thin if needed)

Vegetables (customizable):

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)

Garnish:

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Chopped green onions
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine sliced chicken with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes while you prep the veggies.

2. Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients: soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water.

3. Cook the Chicken

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5–6 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.

4. Stir-Fry the Veggies

In the same pan, add a splash more oil if needed. Stir-fry garlic, ginger, and vegetables for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.

5. Combine & Finish

Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Pour in the stir-fry sauce and toss everything together. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and veggies.

6. Serve

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

🥢 Tips for Success

  • Cut chicken thinly for faster cooking.
  • Use high heat for stir-frying to keep veggies crisp.
  • Add heat with chili flakes or sriracha if desired.
  • Make it gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.

❓ FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen veggies?
Yes! Thaw them slightly and stir-fry on high heat to avoid sogginess.

Q: Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely! Substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh and use the same sauce.

Q: How do I store leftovers?
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.

🍴 Final Thoughts

This sesame chicken stir-fry is a go-to recipe for fast, satisfying meals at home. With bold flavor, crunchy vegetables, and a glossy sesame sauce, it’s guaranteed to become a weeknight favorite. Serve it with rice, noodles, or wrap it in lettuce for a low-carb option!
