01
Step 1
Start by mixing the soy sauce and a tablespoon of cornstarch in a bowl or a zip-top bag. Toss in the chicken and give it a good stir to coat everything well. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air, or cover the bowl, then pop it in the fridge for at least half an hour.

Step 2
While the chicken marinates, dissolve the bouillon granules in some boiling water in a separate bowl. Stir in the remaining cornstarch and ginger until everything is combined.

Step 3
Heat half of the canola oil along with a tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the broccoli, bell peppers, onion, and garlic, then stir-fry for about 5 to 7 minutes until the veggies are crisp but tender. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon and set them aside.

Step 4
Add the rest of the canola and sesame oil to the same skillet and heat it back up. Pour in the marinated chicken along with the crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, around 7 to 10 minutes. Then, toss the veggies back in with the chicken.

Step 5
Pour in the bouillon mixture and keep stirring until the sauce thickens and everything is nicely coated. If you like, add some almonds at this point for a little extra crunch. Serve it up hot and enjoy!

This dish is perfect for busy weeknights because it comes together in just minutes. It’s packed with protein and vegetables, making it a healthy and satisfying meal. Plus, the flavors are fresh and vibrant without needing complicated ingredients.
How to serve
Serve with steamed rice or noodles to soak up the savory sauce. A sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top adds extra flavor and a nice crunch. For a spicy kick, drizzle with a little chili oil or add sliced fresh chilies.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the chicken tender and the broccoli crisp. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the broccoli may become soft after thawing.
