Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken with the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for about 15 minutes while you chop the vegetables.

    Prepare the Vegetables: Rinse the mixed vegetables under cold water. Slice the bell peppers into strips, break the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and trim the snap peas, ensuring all are of similar sizes for uniform cooking.

      Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet or a wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated chicken to the pan (reserve the marinade for later). Sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through.

        Add the Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, incorporate the prepared mixed vegetables into the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the vegetables remain vibrant and tender-crisp.

          Thicken the Sauce: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet along with the cornstarch slurry. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes as the sauce cooks, allowing it to thicken to your desired consistency. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

            Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the delicious stir-fry over bowls of hot cooked rice or noodles. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.
