Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
