Chicken Teriyaki with Mixed Veggies

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb (450g) chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

For the Veggies:

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, sliced thin
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas or snow peas

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Toss them with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until well coated.
2. Make the Teriyaki Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Set aside.
3. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Veggies:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
5. Combine and Simmer:
   • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the veggies. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly.
   • Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the sauce is glossy and thick.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the Chicken Teriyaki with Mixed Veggies over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
