Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tbsp ginger
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper

Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger; set aside.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1.5 lbs cubed chicken thighs and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through; remove and set aside.
- Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup broccoli florets, and 1 cup sliced carrots. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender.

- Step 6: Serve immediately over steamed rice, garnished with 1/4 cup chopped green onions.
