Directions

Step 1

Prepare the teriyaki sauce by mixing soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set this aside for later use.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 9

Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
