How to Make Easy Chicken Stir Fry

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until tender-crisp.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweetener, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and water.

Return chicken to the skillet, pour the sauce over, and stir to coat. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
