Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli florets, bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, etc.)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• Cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional)

Instructions:

STEP 1: Prepare the Pan

Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers warmly.

STEP 2: Sear the Chicken

Make sure the chicken breasts lay flat in the pan after slicing them thinly. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they are soft and cooked through. When finished, place the cooked chicken on a dish and reserve.

STEP 3: Infuse with Aromatics

Add a little extra oil to the pan if necessary. Next, add the minced garlic to the skillet that is sizzling. As it fries softly, let it unleash its fragrant essence.

STEP 4: Add Vibrant Vegetables

Add the mixed veggies, bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about three to five minutes, until bright and crisp-tender.

STEP 5: Reintroduce the Chicken

Put the cooked chicken back in the pan and stir it into the veggie medley.

STEP 6: Sauce and Sizzle

Pour the soy sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. At this point, if you want to add a little sweetness, add honey. After cooking for a further two minutes, stir the ingredients to make sure the flavors are distributed evenly.
