Instructions

1

Step 1

Start by mixing the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces and toss everything together until the chicken is well coated. Seal the bag (try to squeeze out as much air as possible) or cover the bowl, then pop it in the fridge for at least half an hour to marinate.

Step 2

While the chicken is marinating, dissolve the bouillon granules in a bowl of boiling water. Stir in the remaining cornstarch and the ginger until the mixture is smooth and set it aside.

Step 3

Heat half of the canola oil along with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the broccoli, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry the veggies for about 5 to 7 minutes, until they’re tender but still have a nice crunch. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Next, add the rest of the canola and sesame oil to the same skillet and heat it up again. Toss in the marinated chicken and sprinkle in some crushed red pepper for a little kick. Cook it for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.

Step 5

Finally, throw the veggies back into the pan with the chicken. Pour in the bouillon mixture and stir everything together until the sauce thickens and coats the stir-fry nicely. If you like, stir in some almonds for extra crunch before serving.
