Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced chicken with cornstarch until evenly coated. This will give the chicken a crispy texture when stir-fried.

    Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.

      Stir-Fry the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips in a single layer, cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

        Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crispy.

          Add Aromatics: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring not to burn them.

            Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the honey-soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, and stir well to coat everything evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through and thicken the sauce slightly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
