Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Add the broccoli and bell pepper to the same skillet. Cook for 4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
While the vegetables cook, whisk together the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat everything in the sauce.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and stir constantly for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken and vegetables.
Cook for 1 more minute until heated through. Serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust the Sriracha amount to control the heat level for your preference.
For extra flavor, garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions before serving.
If you prefer thicker chicken pieces, pound them to an even thickness before cutting.
