Ingredients

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 tbsp cornstarch, and 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar. Toss to coat and let marinate while you prep other ingredients (about 10 minutes).
In a separate bowl, toss shrimp with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 tbsp cornstarch, and 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and stir-fry until just cooked through and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
Add another 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Add garlic, ginger, and shrimp. Stir-fry until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp to the plate with chicken.
Add broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Return chicken and shrimp to the pan, along with hoisin sauce. Toss everything together and cook for 2 more minutes to combine flavors.
Remove from heat. Sprinkle with green onions and optional sesame seeds. Serve hot, dividing evenly into 4 portions.
