Instructions

Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

- Add the broccoli florets and bell pepper. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, cornstarch, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using).
Combine and Cook:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
Serve:
- Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For added crunch, sprinkle with sesame seeds or chopped cashews.
You can substitute tofu for chicken for a vegetarian option.
Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha.
