Instructions

Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Combine Everything:
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

You can swap out the vegetables for your favorites like carrots, zucchini, or snow peas.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
