Description

A quick and flavorful stir-fry featuring tender chicken breast coated in a savory-sweet Dijon mustard sauce. Crisp snow peas, red peppers, and green onions add freshness and color to this healthy weeknight dinner. Ready in under 30 minutes, this dish is a high-protein, low-carb alternative to takeout.

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, ginger, salt, water, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic until smooth.
Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover and refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for 15-30 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the marinade, placing it in the hot skillet; reserve the marinade.
Stir-fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel to remove excess residue.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
Add the green onions and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Add the snow peas and sliced red pepper; stir-fry for 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the vegetables.
Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly.
Return the chicken to the skillet; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and thickened.
