Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 200 grams snow peas
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Season them with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Rinse the snow peas under cold running water and trim ends if needed. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Lower the heat to medium, and add the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until aromatic.

Step 6

Toss in the snow peas and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the chicken and snow peas. Stir well to coat everything evenly and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Drizzle with sesame oil for added flavor and toss to mix.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot as-is or over steamed rice.
