Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, chop the broccoli into florets, thinly slice the carrots, and slice the bell pepper.

  2. Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
