Ingredients

For the Chicken:
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Stir-Fry Vegetables:
  • 4 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, mushrooms, etc.)
  • 1 cup sliced onions
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas, ends trimmed
For the Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (optional, for heat)
For Garnish:
  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

Start by combining the sliced chicken with soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15-20 minutes. This simple marinade not only adds flavor but also helps keep the chicken tender and juicy.

2. Prepare the Vegetables

While the chicken marinates, wash and slice your vegetables. Having everything prepped makes cooking quick and stress-free.

3. Cook the Chicken

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add your mixed vegetables—onions, bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. This ensures they retain their vibrant color and crunch.

5. Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and Sriracha sauce (if using). This tangy and slightly spicy sauce ties all the ingredients together.

6. Combine and Serve

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the stir-fried vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss everything until well-coated and heated through.

7. Garnish and Enjoy

Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a finishing touch. Serve the stir-fry as is or over cauliflower rice for a zero-point option.
