Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the sliced chicken dry with a paper towel and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and honey. Stir well and set it aside.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and let it warm up until shimmering.
  2. Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer and sear for about 5 minutes without stirring.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan.
  4. In the same pan, add your mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they’re tender but still vibrant.
  5. Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for another minute.
  6. Sprinkle in sesame seeds before serving.
Serving
  1. Serve the stir-fry over a bed of fluffy rice or noodles.
