Ingredients

▢ 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin

▢ 2 cups broccoli florets

▢ 1 cup sliced carrots

▢ 1 cup snap peas

▢ 1 red bell pepper, sliced

▢ 1/2 red onion, sliced

▢ 3 cloves garlic, minced

▢ 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

▢ 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)

▢ 1 teaspoon sesame oil

▢ 1 tablespoon cornstarch

▢ 1/3 cup chicken broth

▢ 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

▢ 1 tablespoon honey

▢ 1 tablespoon neutral oil (like vegetable or grapeseed), for cooking

Instructions

1. Chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces and slice the chicken thin.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, chicken broth, rice vinegar, and honey until smooth.

3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the neutral oil and cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes until cooked through and slightly browned.

4. Add the broccoli, carrots, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until they begin to soften.

5. Toss in the red bell pepper and red onion. Cook another 2–3 minutes.

6. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

7. Pour in the sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the stir fry.

8. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

• Want more heat? Add red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha.

• You can swap chicken for tofu or shrimp if desired.

• Great for meal prep — leftovers reheat beautifully.
