Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

  3. Step 3: Toss in 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, and 1 large julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring constantly, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
