Ingredients

For the marinade:

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast thin sliced
½ cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon ginger grated
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoons sesame oil
3 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

For the stir fry:

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 large carrot sliced
½ onion sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup mushrooms sliced
1 bell pepper thinly sliced
1 cup 4 oz snow peas
1 can water chestnuts drained

Instructions

Place chicken in zipper bag. Mix marinade in a bowl, then pour in the bag. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir carrots, onion, broccoli, mushrooms, bell pepper, snow peas, and water chestnuts until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and keep warm.
Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken until slightly pink on the inside, about 2 minutes per side.
Return vegetables and reserved marinade to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sesame seeds. Serve over cauliflower rice and garnish with scallions.
