Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (canola or sunflower)
- 2 cups assorted vegetables (bell peppers and broccoli work well)
Instructions
- 1. Begin by marinating the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, and ginger until smooth. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and seal in a bag or bowl. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- 3. During the last few minutes of cooking, add your choice of chopped vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry until they are tender-crisp.
- 4. Serve the chicken with vegetables on a plate and drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for an extra flavor boost.
