Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, sliced into thin strips)
1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
0.5 yellow onion (medium, thinly sliced)
1 cup broccoli florets
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
0.25 cup vegetable broth (no-salt-added)
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 cup brown rice (cooked)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound chicken breast strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add 1 thinly sliced green bell pepper, 1/2 thinly sliced yellow onion, and 1 cup broccoli florets to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger to the vegetables and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in 1/4 cup no-salt-added vegetable broth and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Stir well to coat all ingredients and heat through, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve the Wok Chicken and Peppers immediately over 2 cups cooked brown rice, dividing evenly into 4 portions.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are prepped and sliced before you start cooking, as stir-frying is a very quick process. Using quick-cook or pre-cooked brown rice will help keep this meal under the 30-minute total time.
