Instructions

Step 1: Slice 12 oz boneless skinless chicken breast into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water until smooth; set aside.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn golden and the chicken is nearly cooked through.
Step 5: Toss in 8 oz snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they turn bright green and remain crisp.
Step 6: Pour in the soy-honey sauce mixture and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and peas.
Step 7: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions over the dish before serving.
