Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup bell peppers any color, sliced
- 1/2 cup carrots sliced
- 1/2 cup snow peas
- 2 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they're browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften but are still crisp.
- Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the Chicken & Snow Peas: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the snow peas. Stir everything together.
- Pour in the Sauce: Give the sauce another quick whisk, then pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add Sesame Oil: Stir in the sesame oil.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, or enjoy it on its own!
