Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 12 oz thinly sliced chicken breast strips to the skillet and stir fry for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden on the edges.
  3. Step 3: Toss in 1 medium red bell pepper julienned and 1 cup snap peas, stir frying for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly and cooking for another 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and glazes the stir fry.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and fold in 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil leaves for a bright herbal finish. Serve immediately.
