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 into thin strips

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup broccoli florets, cut into small pieces

1 cup snap peas, trimmed and strings removed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

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

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 chopped chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk together until well mixed and set aside to let the flavors combine.

    Sauté the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan, allowing any excess moisture to evaporate, and transfer it to a plate. Set aside.

      Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for approximately 30 seconds, stirring constantly until fragrant. Next, add the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes, ensuring they retain some crispness.

        Combine and Glaze: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. This step helps the chicken and veggies absorb the flavors of the sauce while heating through.

          Serve: Serve your hearty stir-fry over a generous scoop of cooked jasmine rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal. If desired, finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and a few chopped chives for a touch of elegance.

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