Yields 4 servings

  • (1 lb) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • (2 cups) bell peppers, sliced (mix of red, yellow, and green)
  • (1 cup) broccoli florets
  • (1) medium onion, sliced
  • (4 cloves) garlic, minced
  • (1/4 cups) soy sauce
  • (2 tbsp) honey
  • (2 tbsp) olive oil
  • (1 tsp) red pepper flakes
  • (1/2 tsp) black pepper
  • (1/2 tsp) salt
  • (1 tbsp) sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix well to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Add 1 lb chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add 1 medium onion and 4 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add 2 cups sliced bell peppers and 1 cup broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  6. 6

    Return the chicken to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  7. 7

    Serve the spicy garlic chicken and veggies over 2 cups cooked rice. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds if desired.
