Ingredients

Protein:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces (or steak such as sirloin/ribeye)

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

Vegetables:

1 cup chopped bell peppers

1 cup sliced zucchini

1 cup broccoli florets

Sauce:

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp minced ginger

Cooking Essentials:

2 tbsp olive oil

Garnish:

2 tbsp sesame seeds

2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chicken (or steak) pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Stir in bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli. Cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Pour into the skillet.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring until sauce thickens slightly and coats the meat and vegetables.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve hot over rice, noodles, or lettuce wraps.

Notes

  • Use steak instead of chicken for heartier bites—sirloin or ribeye works best.
  • Swap shrimp with scallops, tofu, or extra chicken for flexibility.
  • Add mushrooms, snap peas, or carrots for extra color and crunch.
  • For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or spice with chili flakes or sriracha.
