Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken (lean)

• 1 large bell pepper, diced
• 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (light or reduced-sugar if available)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/4 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce:
   In a small bowl, whisk together the reduced-sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (or non-stick spray) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   Add the diced bell pepper, sliced carrot, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
   Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Ground Chicken:
   In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (or non-stick spray).
   Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Combine and Stir Fry:
   Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the ground chicken.
   Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to combine.
   Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
5. Thicken the Sauce:
   Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
   Add the sliced green onions and stir to combine.
6. Serve:
   Serve the ground chicken stir fry hot over steamed rice or noodles.
   Garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
