Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper sliced (any color)
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional for thickening)
  • 0 to taste salt and pepper
  • 0 for serving cooked jasmine rice or quinoa

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil.
  3. Once the pan is hot, add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
  5. In the same pan, add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan and pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch mixture now.
  7. Toss everything to coat well in the sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve over a bed of jasmine rice or quinoa, and drizzle extra honey on top for a touch of sweetness. Consider garnishing with sesame seeds or extra sliced green onions for added texture and flavor.
