Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons avocado oil or neutral cooking oil, divided
1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup snap peas, trimmed
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced on the diagonal
3 green onions, sliced, white and green parts separated
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin, even strips about 1/2 inch thick. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and black pepper until smooth.
Slice bell peppers into thin strips, cut broccoli into bite-size florets, trim snap peas, slice the carrot, and separate green onions.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken strips until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Sauté 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pour the sauce into the skillet with vegetables. Return cooked chicken to the pan. Simmer 2–3 minutes until thickened and heated through.
Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onion tops. Offer with cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
Adjust sauce thickness by adding more water if needed.
For faster prep, use frozen broccoli.
Serve with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a gluten-free option.
