Ingredients
  • 500g The Meat Box Chicken Stir Fry 
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 courgette, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Fresh coriander or spring onions for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)


Cooking Instructions
  • Cook the rice:

    • Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  • Cook the chicken:

    • While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet, pan or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add the pre-cut Chicken Stir Fry to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Prepare the vegetables:

    • While the chicken cooks, thinly slice the capsicum, julienne the carrot, slice the courgette, and cut the broccoli into florets.
  • Cook the veggies:

    • In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced capsicum, carrot, courgette, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  • Make the sauce:

    • In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.
  • Combine everything:

    • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the veggies. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce coats the chicken and veggies evenly.
  • Serve:

    • Serve the stir fry over a bed of cooked rice.
    • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with fresh coriander or spring onions before serving.
