Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry Quick and Tasty Meal
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
- In a small bowl, mix together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil.
- 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.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
- 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.
- 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.
- Toss everything to coat well in the sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- 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.
