Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp honey
1 tsp chili-garlic sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tsp cornstarch
4 tsp peanut oil
12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint small, sweet mixed peppers, quartered
6 scallions, whites cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, greens cut into 1-inch pieces and thinly sliced vertically into thin strips
8 oz snow peas, trimmed
serving suggestion , cooked brown rice
chopped peanuts for sprinkling , optional

Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, chili-garlic sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, orange juice and cornstarch; set aside.
Meanwhile, coat the chicken with 2 teaspoons oil and heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken to taste with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally with a wooden spoon, 2 minutes. Transfer the partially-cooked chicken to a plate. Reserve the pan.
Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the pan; add the peppers, scallion whites, and snow peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved chicken; whisk the sauce again and add it to the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve over rice and sprinkle with the scallion greens and peanuts, if using.

Cooking the chicken over high heat quickly gives it a nicely browned look and taste without needing to deep fry. Fresh orange juice in the sauce and lots of vegetables keep the dish and the nutrition balanced.
