1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into smaller chunks/slices (1″)
1 egg w/ 2 tablespoon water (beaten)
1/2 cup flour (or cornstarch)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup sugar snap peas (make sure to remove the spline)
1 can sliced water chestnuts (drained well)
5 button mushrooms, cleaned and halved
1 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic (you can use less – I like a garlic taste)
1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (more may be necessary)
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Prepare all veggies – you can use any type you want here as the recipe is pretty liberal.
In 1 bowl, light beat the egg and water.
In another bowl mix the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. *Note: if you want a really crispy chicken like ‘fried’ chicken, use the cornstarch.
Heat a large skillet over med-high heat and 1-2 tablespoon oil.
Add veggies and saute for 5 minutes.
Add garlic and soy sauce, combine. Saute for 1 minute.
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes and combine.
Remove veggies from heat and transfer to a bowl.
In the same pan you just used, add remaining oil (you may need to add 1-2 more tablespoon if necessary)
Dip chicken pieces into egg mixture and then lightly dredge in seasoned flour/cornstarch.
Add to oil and let brown for 3-4 minutes then flip.
Once chicken is all brown and set aside to remove excess fat, if there is oil left in the pan, take a paper towel and lightly wipe it out.
Return chicken and veggies to the pan over med-high heat.
Add honey and sesame seeds and thoroughly mix to combine.
Taste and adjust spices accordingly (add more salt/pepper or soy sauce.
Serve over white rice and top with crispy Asian noodles.
