Vegetables and Oils:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a small bowl until smoothly combined.
- Slice 1 lb chicken breast into thin, uniform strips for quick and even cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F until shimmering.

- Mince 2 cloves of garlic and 1 teaspoon ginger, then sprinkle over the chicken.
- Stir the garlic and ginger into the chicken and cook for 45-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 2 cups of chopped mixed vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables with chicken for 3-4 minutes until they reach a crisp-tender texture.
- Pour the prepared honey-sriracha mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
- Toss everything to ensure complete and even coating with the sauce.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes at 350°F to thicken the sauce and blend flavors.
- Transfer to a serving plate immediately while hot and steaming.
Notes
- Always use high heat for stir-frying to get a nice sear on the chicken without overcooking.
- Chop vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly and look beautiful on the plate.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Let the sauce reduce slightly to create a thick, glossy coating that clings perfectly to the chicken and vegetables.
