Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 16 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)
• 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips and season them with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through and slightly crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and everything is well combined.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot over cooked white or brown rice, if preferred.
