From the Test Kitchen

This easy stir-fry features tender bites of chicken and a bevy of vibrant vegetables like green beans, cabbage, and sweet peppers—all sautéed in fragrant sesame oil for rich, nutty flavor. A simple soy-based sauce brings it all deliciously together.

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce:

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then thinly slice lengthwise. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, honey (kneading the packet before opening), soy sauce, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of water. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

2 Coat & cook the chicken:

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add half the cornstarch (you will have extra) and toss to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat half the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the coated chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.
