2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1️⃣ Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, bell pepper (if using), and onion. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
