Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 1.5 lb chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and the 8 oz mushrooms into quarters. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce, and 1 tbsp honey.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and release their moisture.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms. Stir to coat and let it bubble until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Slice the 3 green onions thinly. Serve the stir-fry over a bed of 2 cups lettuce and sprinkle with the green onions.

  6. Step 6

    Enjoy hot, with rice or noodles if you like.
