Fremgangsmåte

Prepare the ingredients:

Slice the chicken into thin strips. Wash and chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Mix the sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (if using), rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.

Cook the chicken:

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through (about 4–5 minutes). Remove and set aside.

Sauté the vegetables:

In the same skillet, add a touch more oil if needed. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add the bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4–6 minutes until just tender.

Combine and stir in sauce:

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the stir fry sauce over everything. Toss well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is evenly glazed.

Serve:

Remove from heat. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or a low-carb base like cauliflower rice. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes if desired.
