Ingredients
Scale
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 cup broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup snap peas
1 carrot, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
For the Sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss chicken pieces with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp cornstarch. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
