Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 cup broccoli florets, washed and trimmed

1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, finely minced

4 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, for sweetness

1 tablespoon cornstarch, for thickening

½ cup water or chicken broth

1 teaspoon sesame oil, for added flavor

Salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, sliced on the diagonal (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, add the bite-sized pieces of chicken along with a pinch of salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Mix well to coat the chicken. Allow the chicken to marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    Heat the Pan: Preheat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat, and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Allow it to sear without stirring for about 5 minutes until the chicken develops a beautiful golden-brown crust.

      Add the Veggies: Incorporate the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli florets, and sugar snap peas into the skillet. Stir-fry the mixture for an additional 4-5 minutes, tossing occasionally until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the chicken is fully cooked through.

        Flavor It Up: Next, add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), cornstarch, and water (or chicken broth). Stir thoroughly to ensure the cornstarch dissolves and the sauce evenly coats both the chicken and vegetables.

          Let It Thicken: Continue to cook the stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and creates a glossy glaze over the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle sesame oil over the top and stir once again to combine.

            Garnish and Serve: Once thickened, remove the stir-fry from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a beautiful finish. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles of your choice!
