Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)

Instructions
- Season cubed chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Set aside.
- In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Stir-fry broccoli, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and baby carrots for about 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
- Meanwhile, mix corn starch with cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan with vegetables. Pour in the sauce and stir well to combine everything. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve hot over rice or noodles.
