Ingredients
1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
3 cups sugar snap peas trimmed
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ cup honey
¼ cup low sodium chicken broth or water
¼ cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions
1. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the snap peas and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes or until
vegetables are tender.
2. Remove the snap peas from the pan; place them on a plate and cover.
3. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and turn the heat to high. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
4. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add them to the pan in a single layer - you may need to do this step in
batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
5. Add the snap peas back to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes or until the vegetables are warmed through.
6. In a bowl whisk together the chicken broth, honey, sesame oil, garlic and soy sauce. In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with
a tablespoon of cold water.
7. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and snap peas; cook for 30 seconds. Add the cornstarch and bring to a boil; cook
for 1 more minute or until sauce has just started to thicken.
