Ingredients

For the Stir Fry

  • 2 chicken breasts cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 8 g
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli florets 90 g
  • 1 red bell pepper diced (1 cup, 120 g)
  • 1 medium carrot sliced (1/2 cup, 60 g)
  • 1 cup baby corn 160 g
  • 1 teaspoon of oil

For the Sauce

  • ¼ cup chicken broth 60 ml
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce 15 ml
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger 3 g
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil 5 ml
  • 1 packet of Splenda
  • 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Season the chicken cubes with salt, pepper, and the flour, mixing well so all pieces are lightly coated. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat, add a small amount of oil, and once it’s sizzling hot, place the chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the carrot slices and broccoli florets first, and stir-fry for 2 minutes over high heat. If you want to ensure the broccoli and carrots are tender, you can blanch them in boiling water for 3 minutes beforehand. Then, add the diced bell pepper and baby corn and continue stir-frying everything for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly to keep the vegetables crisp.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing the chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, sesame oil, and Splenda in a small bowl. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir well. Return the cooked chicken to the pan, mix everything together, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats all the ingredients.
  • Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds.
