Ingredients

Scale

2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)

Instructions

Prepare chicken and vegetables by chopping them into bite-sized pieces.
Marinate the chicken in a bowl with soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger for about 10 minutes.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add marinated chicken to the pan in a single layer; cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 5 minutes).
Toss in mixed vegetables when the chicken is halfway done; stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the stir-fry and cook for another minute.
Serve hot over rice or noodles.
