- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers and broccoli recommended)
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Wash and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Slice chicken into thin strips.
- Make the marinade: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic in a bowl until well combined.
- Add spice: Stir in red pepper flakes to the marinade and adjust to taste.
