Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 medium onion
2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 red bell pepper
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2 cloves minced garlic
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 tbsp rice vinegar (replacing mirin for alcohol-free)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep all ingredients by cutting chicken into 1-inch pieces and chopping vegetables into uniform, bite-size pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and garlic until smooth.
Season chicken with garlic powder and pepper, then toss with additional cornstarch until lightly coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat and brown chicken in batches until golden and cooked through; remove and set aside.
Add remaining oil and onions to the skillet for 1 minute, then add broccoli and peppers, sautéing for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return chicken to the pan, whisk the sauce once more, and pour it over the ingredients.
Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the sauce bubbles, thickens, and glazes the chicken and vegetables evenly.

Notes

Ensure chicken is patted dry before coating with cornstarch for a better sear.
Use high-quality low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
