Ingredients

Scale

4 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
2 cups snap peas or green beans
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Add garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes until veggies are tender-crisp.
Whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, and honey (or maple syrup). Pour over the chicken and vegetables.
Add the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce, cooking for 1 minute until glossy and thickened.
Serve hot over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking. Add a splash of lime juice before serving for added brightness. This recipe can easily be doubled.
