Main Ingredients

Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Start by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Season Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken pieces and toss until well coated.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Wash and slice the carrots, chop the broccoli into florets, and dice the bell peppers.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the sliced carrots, broccoli florets, and diced bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  3. 6

    Prepare Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Pour this mixture over the sautéed vegetables and stir until well combined.

  4. 7

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the vegetables and sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Serving
