Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables:
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
Sauce and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Rinse chicken breasts and thoroughly dry them with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Slice chicken into 1-inch cubes, seasoning generously with salt and pepper for maximum flavor.
- Whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger in a medium bowl until completely integrated.
- Create a smooth cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon cornstarch with ¼ cup water in a separate small bowl.
- Warm 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and easily coats the pan.
- Spread chicken pieces in a single layer, cooking for 6 minutes at 375°F, stirring occasionally until pieces turn golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a clean plate, keeping it warm.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the same skillet, introducing bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas.
- Stir-fry vegetables for 4 minutes at high heat, maintaining their vibrant color and crisp texture.
- Incorporate minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 90 seconds until their aromas intensify.
- Return chicken to the skillet, pouring honey-Sriracha sauce over the entire mixture and stirring to ensure complete coating.
- Pour cornstarch slurry into the skillet, continuously stirring for 2-3 minutes until sauce reaches a glossy, thick consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed for balanced flavor.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, sprinkling sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for added texture.
Notes
- Choose fresh, high-quality chicken breasts for the most tender and flavorful results.
- Ensure your skillet or wok is very hot before adding ingredients to get a perfect golden-brown sear on the chicken.
- For a lower-carb version, replace rice with cauliflower rice or serve over zucchini noodles.
- Keep vegetables crisp by not overcooking them, which maintains better texture and preserves more nutrients.
