Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes), 1/2 cup grated carrots, 1/2 cup grated zucchini, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp minced ginger. Mix until evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender.
  4. Step 4: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with 2 tbsp sliced green onions and serve over 4 cups cooked rice.
