Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil to create the sauce.

Step 3

In a small separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until dissolved to create a slurry.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.

Step 5

Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the red bell pepper and snap peas, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly tender.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly.

Step 9

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice.
