INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil divided
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 red bell pepper cored and thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces broccoli slaw
  • 1 cup shelled edamame fresh or frozen and thawed
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges packed in juice drained
  • Chopped green onions for serving
  • Toasted sesame seeds optional, for serving
  • Prepared brown rice or quinoa optional, for serving

DIRECTIONS

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through and the juices run clear when cut, about 5 minutes. With a spoon, remove the chicken and onion to a plate and set aside.
  • In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add the bell pepper. Cook 3 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli slaw and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • Return the chicken and onions to the skillet. Add the edamame and pour the soy sauce mixture over the top and stir to combine.
  • Let cook for 1 minute to warm through and thicken the sauce. Top with the oranges, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve hot with brown rice.
