Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create the stir-fry sauce and set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and thinly sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they become crisp-tender.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the stir-fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to ensure that everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the skillet and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
- Season the stir fry with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish the stir fry with the sliced green onions just before serving. This dish is best served hot, over a bed of steamed rice or noodles.
