Ingredients

Scale
  • 300g chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cooked wild rice blend
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup sliced yellow bell pepper
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1 cup trimmed green beans
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Mix together the chicken pieces, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and water. Set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the hot wok. Cook until browned and fully cooked through—about 5-7 minutes. Once done, set aside.
  4. In the same wok, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add all the vegetables (broccoli florets, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, sugar snap peas, green beans). Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until crisp yet tender.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the wok with vegetables. Add in the cooked wild rice along with the prepared sauce. Toss everything well to combine until heated through.
  6. Serve your Wild Rice Chicken Stir-Fry with Fresh Veggies immediately. Enjoy it as is or store leftovers in an airtight container for later use!
