Guess what? I finally got to cook dinner in my new kitchen! We closed down the grill for one night and I dirtied a million pots and pans going to town on the stove, making Stir-Fried Honey-Ginger Chicken with Peppers.

This recipe is super simple with only a few ingredients. Sometimes simple is just better. I love ginger and honey together, and the sauce on this is super duper delicious. With one protein and one veggie, this stir fry comes together really quickly and easily.

The sauce is sweet, so even your kiddos will love this meal. Just make sure not to give it to babies under a year old since it’s got honey in it! The vinegar and soy sauce balances out the sweetness to perfection.

Isn’t it pretty? I love the color from the peppers! But you can use three of one color if that’s what you have. Serve over rice to soak up all the yummy sauce, and top with cilantro for a pop of freshness and flavor.

If you like things spicy, add some red pepper flakes while you’re cooking the peppers. We topped ours with sriracha!

Fun fact: If you have extra ginger (I did), you can freeze it! Wrap it (whole and unpeeled) tightly in plastic wrap, and then in tinfoil. When you need to use it again, you can peel and grate while still frozen, then throw it back in the freezer.

If you have a big enough pan, make a double batch of this! It’s great as leftovers, and you’re going to love it. Enjoy!
