Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop bell peppers and carrots into thin strips while keeping broccoli florets manageable.
  2. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and sesame oil until combined; set aside.
  3. Heat cooking oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
  4. Add chicken to the pan in an even layer; sear for about 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip to cook evenly.
  5. Once the chicken is nearly cooked through, add the veggies and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
  6. Pour the sauce over everything in the pan and stir quickly to coat; allow it to simmer for an additional minute before serving.
