📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  3. 3
    Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. 4
    Stir in the bell peppers and broccoli florets. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. 5
    Give the prepared sauce another quick whisk, then pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and beautifully coats all the ingredients.
  6. 6
    Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately over brown rice or quinoa.

💡 Notes

For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic. You can substitute other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas or sliced mushrooms. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
