Preparation

  • Cut the chicken and vegetables, whisk the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, broth), and prepare the cornstarch slurry.

Cooking

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and sear for 3–4 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Toss in carrots and broccoli first, stir-frying for 3 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Stir in bell pepper, garlic, and ginger; cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Return the chicken to the pan. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the mix and stir to combine.
  • Add the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything in a glossy sheen.
  • Finish with sliced green onions and serve over warm rice or your favorite noodles.

Notes
