Prepare a quick, flavorful honey soy chicken and vegetable meal entirely in one skillet for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides and mostly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and carrots to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. While the vegetables cook, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the honey soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  7. Stir the cornstarch slurry and pour it slowly into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
  8. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and coated in the glaze.
  9. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.

Notes

  • You can substitute the vegetables with snap peas, mushrooms, or zucchini based on what you have available.
  • For a spicier flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
  • If you do not have rice vinegar, use an equal amount of white vinegar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.
