Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1 cup of sliced bell peppers, 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1/4 cup of hot honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and 2 sliced green onions.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to warm for about 1-2 minutes until it is shimmering but not smoking.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Make sure to stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the skillet. Stir well to combine the chicken with the vegetables.
- In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup of hot honey and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce until well combined. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
- Continue to stir-fry the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly. Cook until the chicken is heated through and the flavors meld together.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the stir-fry with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and the sliced green onions for garnish.
- Serve the hot honey sesame rotisserie chicken stir fry immediately, either on its own or over a bed of rice or noodles if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and quick meal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, shred your rotisserie chicken and chop your vegetables in advance. This way, you can quickly toss everything together when you're ready to cook.
- Heat Control: Make sure your skillet or wok is hot enough before adding the oil and vegetables. A well-heated pan helps achieve that perfect stir-fry texture—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables! Snow peas, carrots, or snap peas can add a delightful crunch and color to your dish.
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of hot honey or mix it with regular honey. Conversely, if you like it spicy, add a dash of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
- Serve It Right: For a complete meal, serve your stir fry over a bed of rice or noodles. Garnish with additional sesame seeds and green onions for an appealing presentation.
- Leftover Magic: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They make for a fantastic lunch the next day—just reheat and enjoy!
