Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup jicama, peeled and julienned
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips and season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the jicama, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the soy-lime sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients.
Garnish with green onions before serving and enjoy immediately. Serve on its own or over rice for a complete meal.
