Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup snap peas

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, sriracha, garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.

    In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, add chicken pieces and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

      Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the skillet.

        Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked through.

          Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas into the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

            Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken and vegetable mixture, allowing it to bubble and thicken for about 2-3 minutes.

              Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. If desired, add fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

                Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
