Ingredients
- For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
- For the Stir Fry:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp Butter, divided
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/2 white onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 1/4 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce for the sauce mixture. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, season the chicken with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the cornstarch and toss to coat evenly.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp of butter. Stir fry the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion in the skillet until the veggies are lightly charred and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter with olive oil and sea salt to the skillet along with the sesame oil. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides and cooked through.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the chicken and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked veggies to the skillet and toss everything to coat and heat through.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve over hot rice or noodles, if desired.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more chili garlic sauce or some red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute the chicken thighs with chicken breast for a leaner option.
- Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
