Chicken
4
Heat the canola oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Season the sliced chicken with salt and pepper and when the oil is hot place the chicken into the skillet in batches, browning on each side. Make sure not to over-crowd the skillet. The chicken will cook quickly, ⏱️ 2- 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and continue until all the chicken is cooked.

Reduce the heat to medium and add in the carrots and snow peas, sauteing until they are soft, but left with a slight bite, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Add the garlic and water chestnuts and cook for ⏱️ 1 minute.
