Ingredients

  • 1 stalk celery cut into thin strips
  • 1 large carrot (2" long, cut into thin strips)
  • 1 unit red pepper cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup baby corn
  • 3 units green onions sliced
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 large or 3 small)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  • Start by slicing the boneless skinless chicken breasts into thin strips. This allows for even cooking and helps the chicken absorb the flavors of the sauces.
  • In your wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat. The combination of these oils adds depth and flavor to the stir fry.
  • Add the sliced chicken to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  • In the same pan, add the celery, carrot, red pepper, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli florets, baby corn, and green onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Mix well to combine.
  • Pour in the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and chili sauce. Stir everything together, allowing the chicken and vegetables to absorb the delicious flavors. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry for another minute. To finish, sprinkle with sesame seeds and season with pepper to taste.
