Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water slurry

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki sauce.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add the bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and carrot to the skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly.
  6. Step 6: Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  8. Step 8: Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in half of the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
