  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, tamari soy sauce, dry sherry if using, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

Cooking

  • Heat one tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer, seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until lightly browned, then remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the red bell pepper, onion, carrot, and broccoli. Cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes until tender but crisp.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet along with the ginger and garlic. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture, stirring to coat evenly. Stir-fry for another minute or two until the sauce thickens. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results: ensure the pan is hot before adding chicken, cut ingredients consistently, and don't overcrowd the pan.
