• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 0.25 cup green onions, sliced(optional)

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, chicken broth, and cornstarch to create the glaze sauce.

2. 2

   Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering.

3. 3

   Add the chicken strips in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, then remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan and toss in the broccoli and red bell peppers, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.

5. 5

   Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for only 30 seconds until fragrant to avoid burning.

   Return the cooked chicken to the pan and pour the glaze sauce over the mixture.

7. 7

   Toss everything continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.

8. 8
