Crunchy Honey Chicken

Ingredients

* 2 whole Egg Whites
* ⅓ cups Cornstarch Or Flour
* 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
* 1 cup Broccoli Florets
* ½ whole Red Pepper, Thinly Sliced
* ¾ cups Sugar Snap Peas
* 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
* 1 clove Garlic, Minced
* 1 pound Thin Sliced, Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
* ¼ cups Honey
* Salt And Pepper


Preparation Instructions

Prepare and slice all veggies. Feel free to add whatever you would like. In 2 separate bowls, add the egg whites (lightly beaten) and the cornstarch or flour. (The cornstarch will yield a “crispier” chicken.) Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add veggies with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and saute for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add in soy sauce and garlic and stir so veggies are coated, about 60 seconds. Remove from skillet and set aside in a bowl.

Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat the same skillet (or you can use a different one, I just use the same to make it easier) over medium-high heat and add remaining olive oil. Dip chicken pieces in egg whites and then lightly dredge in cornstarch. Add to the skillet and let brown for 2-3 minutes, then flip. Continue with remaining chicken pieces, and do so in batches if needed.

Once chicken is cooked, add veggies back in the skillet. Add honey and thoroughly mix to combine. Taste and season with salt, pepper, additional honey or soy sauce. Serve with rice. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
