Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Add 1 lb sliced chicken breast and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 10 minutes while preparing vegetables.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup trimmed snap peas. Stir-fry for 4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender, adding 1/4 cup water if needed to steam.
- Step 4: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute until heated through.
- Step 5: Serve immediately over 2 cups cooked rice, garnishing with extra snap peas if desired.
