Ingredients
-
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
-
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
-
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
-
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
-
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
-
2 large carrots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
-
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
-
4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
-
3 dried red chiles, such as Thai, cayenne or chile de arbol, stemmed
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
½ cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Directions
-
Grind coriander, cumin and fennel seeds in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle until the mixture resembles coarsely ground pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl and add cornstarch, salt and turmeric; stir to combine. Add chicken and stir until coated with the spice mixture.
-
Preheat a large flat-bottom wok or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is shimmering, add carrots, bell pepper, onion, garlic and chiles. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
-
Reduce heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the chicken and seasonings from the bowl and cook, stirring, until no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the vegetables, lime juice and mint and cook until heated through, about 30 seconds.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
