Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast sliced into thin strips
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon honey to balance the flavors
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions

  • Start by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips. This not only helps the chicken cook quickly but also allows for better flavor absorption. Chop your mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces, ensuring even cooking.
  • In your wok or large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the chicken—this helps to achieve that lovely sear.
  • Add the sliced chicken to the pan in a single layer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil if necessary, then toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, add your mixed vegetables and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Drizzle the soy sauce and honey over the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, allowing the sauce to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  • Serve your Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry over a bed of cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy the beautiful colors and enticing aroma as you dig in!
