Step 1: Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 2: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, and carrot slices along with the remaining marinade. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, toss to combine, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your zesty garlic chicken veggies!
