Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds and chopped scallions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add onion, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Return chicken to the pan. Stir in soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Mix well.
  6. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve hot with rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness or breasts for a leaner option.
  • Double the sauce if serving with rice or noodles to soak up the flavor.
  • Add mushrooms or snap peas for extra veggies and variety.
