Honey Garlic Ground Chicken Stir-Fry

A quick and delicious weeknight stir-fry featuring lean ground chicken and crisp vegetables coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. One of the best ground chicken recipes for a healthy, satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450g) lean ground chicken
1 tbsp olive oil
1 head broccoli, chopped into florets
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s no longer pink and is nicely browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 3: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the cooked ground chicken. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4: Add the chopped broccoli florets and bell pepper strips to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 5: Give the prepared sauce a quick whisk again and pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6: Remove from heat. Stir in the chopped green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand or what’s in season. This recipe is also great for meal prepping; simply store in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
