Instructions

Step 1: Slice 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast into thin strips about 1/2 inch thick. In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp cornstarch until smooth.
Step 2: Julienne 1 medium red bell pepper, 1 cup snap peas, and 1 medium carrot into thin matchsticks. Mince 3 garlic cloves and grate 1 tbsp fresh ginger.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned on edges, then remove from skillet.
Step 4: In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Step 5: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared orange-soy sauce mixture. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.
Step 6: Thinly slice 2 green onions and sprinkle over the top with 1 tbsp sesame seeds before serving.
