Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add 8 oz chicken breast strips, cooking for 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 clove minced garlic and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger to the chicken, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Toss in 1 medium julienned carrot, 1/2 sliced red bell pepper, and 1/2 cup snap peas, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir together 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce and 1 tbsp honey, pouring over the chicken and veggies.
  5. Step 5: Add 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and serve warm, perfect alongside steamed rice or noodles.
