Ingredients

Instructions

In a bowl, toss the sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes while prepping other ingredients.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate.
In the same pan, add onion, red bell pepper, and ginger. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and onions are starting to caramelize.
Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the chicken to the pan. In a small bowl, mix together remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, chicken broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Pour over the stir fry.
Cook everything together for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce is glossy and coats the chicken and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, over steamed rice if desired.
