Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, soy sauce, and garlic. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the skillet. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.
3
Add the broccoli, carrots, and snap peas to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
