Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breast cut into strips
  • ¼ cup + 2 teaspoons cornstarch divided
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • Salt
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 yellow pepper diced
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and cut into wheels
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Toss the chicken in ¼ cup cornstarch, making sure it is coated all over.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook for 4 minutes per side. Season with a pinch of salt, then transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add all the vegetables and garlic and cook for 5-6 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and toss with the vegetables.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the chicken stock, the rest of the cornstarch, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce into the pan and toss over medium heat until the sauce becomes thick and sticky. Serve.
