          Instructions<\/h2>\n

          1. Marinate the Chicken<\/h3>\n

          Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Add the soy sauce, vegetable oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss well to coat.<\/p>\n

          Let the chicken marinate for 15 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          2. Coat the Chicken<\/h3>\n

          Add the cornstarch to the marinated chicken and toss until each piece is lightly coated.<\/p>\n

          3. Prepare the Sauce<\/h3>\n

          In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, chicken broth, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.<\/p>\n

          Set aside.<\/p>\n

          4. Cook the Chicken<\/h3>\n

          Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.<\/p>\n

          Add the chicken in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for about 3\u20134 minutes per side<\/strong>, until golden brown and cooked through.<\/p>\n

          Transfer the chicken to a plate.<\/p>\n

          5. Stir-Fry the Vegetables<\/h3>\n

          Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet if needed.<\/p>\n

          Add the onion, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3\u20135 minutes<\/strong>, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.<\/p>\n

          6. Add the Sauce<\/h3>\n

          Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the vegetables.<\/p>\n

          Bring it to a gentle simmer and cook for 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong>, allowing the sauce to begin thickening.<\/p>\n

          7. Combine Everything<\/h3>\n

          Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.<\/p>\n

          Toss everything together and simmer for another 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong>, until the chicken is completely coated in the glossy sauce.<\/p>\n

          8. Garnish and Serve<\/h3>\n

          Remove from the heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.<\/p>\n

          Serve immediately over steamed white or jasmine rice.<\/p>\n

          Helpful Tips<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • For extra-tender chicken, use boneless chicken thighs.<\/li>\n
          • Don’t overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken; this helps it brown instead of steaming.<\/li>\n
          • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your preferred level of heat.<\/li>\n
          • For a thicker sauce, simmer it for an additional minute or two.<\/li>\n
          • Add extra broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for a vegetable-packed meal.<\/li>\n
          • Serve immediately with plenty of steamed rice to soak up the delicious sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
