Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup jicama, peeled and julienned
• 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the jicama, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the soy-lime sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients.

Step 7

Garnish with green onions before serving and enjoy immediately. Serve on its own or over rice for a complete meal.
