Directions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine sliced chicken, grated ginger, minced garlic, ground turmeric, tamari or soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator).
- Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari or soy sauce, lime juice, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the pan in a single layer. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Add sliced red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli florets, snow peas, and red onion. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Transfer the stir-fry to serving plates or a large serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy as is or serve over brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
