almonds

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Walnuts provide healthy fats while sunflower seeds are more economical.

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Non-alcoholic wine maintains some flavor while broth is budget-friendly.

1

Cut chicken breasts into small cubes and place them in a bowl.

2

Add 15 tablespoons of Heinz soy sauce (because it's sweeter) and 1 tablespoon of honey to the bowl.

3

Mix well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

4

Chop the vegetables: red bell pepper, green bell pepper, carrot, and onion.

5

In a pot, add a small glass of olive oil over high heat.

6

Add the almonds to the oil and toast them carefully, watching not to burn them as it will spoil the dish.

7

Once toasted, remove the almonds to a plate.

8

In the same oil, add the chicken and cook it briefly, reserving the soy sauce marinade for later use.

9

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it and set it aside.

10

Add all the chopped vegetables to the pot, stir, and let them cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

11

After 10 minutes, add the chicken back to the pot along with 1 glass of chicken broth (or water with a chicken bouillon cube).

12

In a separate cup, mix the reserved soy sauce marinade with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until well combined.

13

After adding the chicken broth, add the soy sauce mixture with cornstarch to the pot and let it cook for about 20-30 minutes over medium heat.

14

After 30 minutes, add the toasted almonds, stir well, and cook until the sauce thickens a bit.
