• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
2. If using cornstarch, dissolve it in 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
5. Add the chicken back to the skillet along with the sauce mixture. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well coated and heated through.
6. If using cornstarch, add the slurry to the pan and stir until the sauce thickens slightly.
