Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 lb Chicken breast Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups Broccoli florets
  • 1 cup Red bell pepper Sliced
Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and garlic powder to make the sauce.
  5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu. For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the sauce ingredients.
