– 1 red bell pepper (seeded, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces)
– 1 yellow onion finely chopped
– 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)

Instructions
1-Getting started with this spicy chicken stir fry bowl is simple and fun. Begin by preparing your ingredients: cut the chicken into pieces and chop the veggies to make cooking smooth. This step helps everything come together quickly and keeps the flavors fresh.
2-Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes until itβs softened and lightly browned. Add the broccoli with 1 tablespoon water and cook for about 3 minutes until tender, then stir in the bell pepper and ginger, cooking for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the vegetables to a plate and cover to keep them warm.
3-Wipe the pan clean and add the remaining oil. Cook the seasoned chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Return the vegetables to the pan and mix in the sauce: combine soy sauce, honey, and chili garlic sauce in one bowl, and whisk cornstarch with 2 teaspoons cold water in another before adding it to the sauce mixture.
4-Pour the sauce into the pan, turn the heat to high, bring it to a boil, and cook for 30 seconds until thickened. Finally, garnish with toasted cashews and sliced green onions before serving.
