Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium high heat until hot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, chicken broth, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet.
- Add sliced chicken in a single layer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. Sauté broccoli, bell pepper, snap peas, carrots, and garlic for 4 to 5 minutes until crisp tender.
