Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts trimmed and cut into pieces at least 1 inch square
  • 2 red bell peppers cored, seeded and cut into strips about the same thickness as the snap peas
  • 2 cups sugar snap peas trim ends
  • 1.5 tbsp peanut oil
  • 1-2 tbsp sesame seeds preferably black
  • marinade soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweetener (Golden Monkfruit or choice), sesame oil and garlic powder; half used for marinating and half for brushing

Instructions

  • Trim and cut the chicken breasts into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  • Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, your chosen sweetener (such as Golden Monkfruit), sesame oil, and garlic powder to make the marinade.
  • Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow container and add half the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to all day.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and place it in the oven to heat while the oven comes to temperature.
  • Drain the marinated chicken in a colander, discarding excess marinade.
  • Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer with space between them; return to the oven and bake 8 minutes.
  • While the chicken bakes, trim the snap peas and cut the bell peppers into strips similar in thickness to the peas. Toss the vegetables in the peanut oil in a bowl.
  • Remove the pan from the oven after 8 minutes and arrange the oiled vegetables around the chicken so they contact the pan; return to the oven and bake about 12 minutes more, until chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
  • Brush the cooked chicken and vegetables with the remaining marinade, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve hot.
