Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and garlic and stir-fry for one minute. Add the honey, soy sauce, salt and pepper and mix well. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, two to three minutes, and remove from the pan. Editor's Tip: How do you know when the chicken is done? Use a thermometer to check for doneness. It needs to read at least 165°F.

In the same pan, cook the vegetable blend in the remaining oil and stir-fry just until tender, four to five minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, and pour in the cornstarch slurry. Stir until everything is fully combined. Bring the pan to a boil, and cook and stir until the sauce has thickened, about one minute. Serve immediately, with rice if desired.
