Instructions
- Prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl. Set it aside.
- Chop broccoli into florets and slice red bell pepper, onion, and carrots into similar sizes. Chop green onions for garnishing. Set these aside.
- Cut chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces about ½ inch thick.
- In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the skillet. Stir-fry broccoli and carrots for about 1 minute until the broccoli is bright green.
- Add red bell pepper and onion to the skillet, stir-frying for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the sauce again, then return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer until thickened and glossy, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until vegetables are tender to your liking.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve.
