Ingredients
  

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

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa (for serving)

Toasted sesame seeds and chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

      Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry the veggies for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.

        Combine and Glaze: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the veggies. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss everything together, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.

          Serve: Serve the stir-fry over a bed of cooked jasmine rice or quinoa. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped chives if desired.

            Enjoy your vibrant and healthy One-Pan Chicken and Veggie Stir-Fry Delight!
