Honey BBQ Chicken Stir-Fry with Brown Rice and Steamed Broccoli

Step 1: Make the BBQ Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the following ingredients to make the BBQ sauce:

• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken strips in a bowl and pour half of the BBQ sauce over them. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

• 1 lb chicken strips
• Half of the BBQ sauce from step 1

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Marinated chicken from step 2

Step 4: Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Add the remaining BBQ sauce to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens slightly.

• 1 bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 red onion (sliced)
• Remaining BBQ sauce from step 1

Step 5: Combine the Chicken and Vegetables

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat it with the BBQ sauce and vegetables.

Step 6: Steam the Broccoli

In a separate pot, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5 minutes.

• 1 lb broccoli florets

Step 7: Serve

Serve the Honey BBQ Chicken Stir-Fry over cooked brown rice with the steamed broccoli on the side. Season with salt to taste.
