1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes, Kraft Asian Sesame Dressing, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets, snow peas, and carrots and blanch for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
4. Combine and Serve: Add the blanched vegetables and green onions to the skillet with the chicken. Toss to coat in the flavorful sauce. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
