Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin strips

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 cups broccoli florets

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Sriracha sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (cornstarch slurry)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked jasmine rice or noodles, for serving

Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch slurry. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well blended. Set aside for later use.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced chicken. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. Stir-fry the chicken for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and turns a nice golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a plate. Set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Once hot, toss in the sliced onion, bell peppers, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp, preserving some of their crunch.

        Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the previously cooked chicken to the skillet along with the sautéed vegetables. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant. Next, pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetable medley. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated in the flavorful sauce.

          Thicken the Sauce: Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and achieve a glossy texture. If the sauce seems too thick for your liking, feel free to add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.

            Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the tasty stir fry immediately over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice or noodles. For a finishing touch, garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, adding both a pop of color and an extra crunch.
