Ingredients
  

For the Stir Fry
  • 1 pound Chicken Breasts Lean protein source; substituting with chicken thighs will add more flavor.
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets Adds crunch and nutrition; snap peas can provide a fun texture alternative.
  • 2 cups Bell Peppers Using a mix of red, yellow, and green maximizes visual appeal.
  • 1 cup Carrot Slices Sweetness and balance; zucchini can be a fresh seasonal swap.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Enhances flavor with aromatic richness; fresh garlic is always better for taste.
For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce Provides umami and saltiness; tamari works well as a gluten-free alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil Adds depth and nuttiness; olive oil is a suitable substitute if necessary.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Balances the flavors with its sweetness; for a vegan option, maple syrup can be used.
For Cooking

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and chopping all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat two tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  3. Add the chicken strips in a single layer to the hot skillet. Sear for about 5 minutes without stirring to achieve a delicious golden-brown crust.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the carrot slices first, followed by the broccoli florets and bell peppers after a minute.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Pour this flavorful sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet, stirring to coat evenly.
  6. Transfer the Chicken Stir Fry with Vegetables to plates. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top for added flavor.
