Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced for garnish
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
• 4 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch. Add water to thin the sauce mixture slightly. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the broccoli into small florets, thinly slicing the red bell pepper and carrot, and trimming the snap peas.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and toss in the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas. Stir fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Cook the mixture for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and coat the chicken and vegetables.

Step 8

Serve hot over a bed of cooked brown rice or quinoa. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
