  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 cups cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
  • Optional: sesame seeds or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch to make the sauce.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add a bit more oil and stir-fry carrots and broccoli for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add bell peppers, snap peas, and cabbage. Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Return chicken to pan, pour in sauce, and stir to coat. Simmer 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Divide into 4 meal prep containers over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Swap chicken for shrimp, beef, or tofu for variation.
  • Use different veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, or baby corn.
  • Add sriracha or chili garlic sauce for heat.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Store in fridge up to 4 days; reheat in microwave for 1½ to 2 minutes.
