Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 11 minutes
Total Time: 31 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients 

  • pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1/2″ pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 tablespoons light flavored olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion sliced into thin ¼-inch strips
  • 2 bell peppers cut into 1-inch pieces, about 3 cups worth
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 green onions sliced thin

Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • tablespoons chili paste
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Add the ginger and toss to coat thoroughly. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, chili paste, and garlic. Set aside.
  • Warm the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables and toss to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are barely tender and still crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Cover with a lid for a minute or so at a time, to help cook the vegetables as needed.
  • Add the soy sauce mixture and stir to coat everything well. Cook about 2 more minutes, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the meat and vegetables. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with green onions.
