Quick Chicken Stir-Fry with Broccoli and Carrots

1.In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, honey, red pepper flakes (if using), and water for the sauce. Set aside.

2.Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and stir-fry for 4-6 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3.Add broccoli florets and carrots to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender. If the pan gets too dry, add a tablespoon of water.

4.Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetables. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

5.Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Give the prepared sauce a quick whisk again and pour it over the chicken and vegetables.

6.Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat all ingredients. The sauce should become glossy.

7.Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
