Instructions

In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.
Chop broccoli, slice red bell pepper, onion, and carrots into similar sizes. Slice green onions and set aside.
Cut chicken breasts into half-inch pieces.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, adding 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once hot, brown the chicken on all sides and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil along with carrots and broccoli, stir-frying for about a minute until bright green.
Add the red bell pepper and onion, stir-frying for 1-2 more minutes.
Stir the sauce, add cooked chicken, and pour the sauce mixture over everything. Stir well and simmer for 1-2 minutes more until vegetables are tender.
Remove from heat, garnish with green onions, and serve.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is cooked fully, but avoid overcooking for tenderness.
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences or what’s in season.
Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
