Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together water, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Cube and place chicken in a bowl with the corn starch, salt and pepper. Toss until chicken is well coated.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in cooking oil and sesame oil and add in chicken.
- Toss and allow chicken to cook until it starts to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add in garlic, broccoli, and bell peppers and let the veggies sauté alongside the chicken for another 5 minutes.
