Start by marinating the chicken. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with ¼ cup of low-sodium soy sauce and a pinch of black pepper. This step helps the chicken soak up flavor, enhancing the taste of the final dish. Let it marinate at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. Marinating the chicken is crucial as it allows the soy sauce to penetrate the meat, making it juicy and flavorful.

Ingredients
  

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

2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Cooked rice or noodles for serving (optional)

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnishing

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and the cornstarch slurry until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.

      Stir-Fry the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken in a single, even layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate, leaving any remaining oil in the skillet.

        Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and trimmed snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant and tender-crisp, ensuring they maintain some crunch.

          Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the mixture and toss everything together gently. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and evenly coat the chicken and vegetables.

            Serve: Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the stir fry over a bed of warm cooked rice or noodles. To elevate the dish, garnish it with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

                - Presentation Tips: For an added touch of color, consider serving the stir fry in a large, shallow bowl. Drizzle a little extra honey over the top for a glossy finish and place a lime wedge on the side for a zesty squeeze before eating. Enjoy!
