For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• For the Chicken:
  • 250 grams chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  For the Veggies:

  • 100 grams broccoli florets
  • 100 grams bell peppers, sliced
  • 50 grams carrots, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Add the chicken pieces, coating them well, and marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
2. Cook the Veggies: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the Chicken: In the same pan, add 1 tbsp olive oil and cook the marinated chicken on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. If needed, add a splash of water to help the sauce coat the chicken.
4. Combine and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, toss the sautéed veggies with the chicken. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds or cilantro if desired.
