Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch strips, cooking for 5-6 minutes while stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
2. Step 2: Add 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
3. Step 3: Toss in 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, 1 medium zucchini sliced into half-moons, and 1 small thinly sliced yellow onion. Stir-fry the vegetables with the chicken for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon honey until combined. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving hot.
