Chicken and Apple Stir-Fry with Honey-Ginger Glaze

1.In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.

2.Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3.Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the sliced onion and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

4.Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.

5.Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the sliced apple and stir gently to combine.

6.Give the prepared honey-ginger glaze a quick whisk, then pour it over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Bring to a simmer.

7.Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 1-2 minutes.

8.Remove from heat. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
