Preparation Instructions

Place the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and honey (if using) in a plastic bag or bowl with lid. Shake well to combine. Add in the Chicken pieces. Marinate for 10-30 minutes turning over the chicken periodically.

Place a skillet over medium-high. Once hot drizzle in the vegetable oil. Shake the marinade off slightly. Place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, spread out in the pan, not overlapping. Sear for 3-5 minutes, flip over and continue searing until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the pan and toss in the snow peas. Add a splash of water if they are sticking and steam slightly.

Serve the snow peas and chicken on top of steamy brown rice.
