  • 1 small diced red bell pepper about 1 cup
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound diced boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • cup chicken broth
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic about 3 cloves
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • red pepper flakes to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add ½ bunch asparagus, 4 ounces sliced mushrooms, 1 sliced small yellow squash, 1 sliced small zucchini, 1 diced red bell pepper, and season with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate or bowl.
  2. Add 1 pound diced boneless skinless chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink and it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Add ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup honey, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ⅓ cup chicken broth, 3 teaspoons minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Add the sauce to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken.
  4. Add the vegetables back to the skillet with the chicken and stir to combine. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, until the vegetables are heated through and the sauce has thickened. Add red pepper flakes for added heat, then serve immediately over white rice, if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, or heat in a skillet over medium heat until steaming and fully heated through.
