Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Sugar snap peas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Optional garnish: sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and chicken broth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the sugar snap peas to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan and stir to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and snap peas.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve warm with steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
