Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
6 cloves garlic pressed
1 tablespoons ground ginger
¼ cup rice vinegar Red Pepper flavor, divided
4 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce divided
½ cup low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon sesame oil optional
1 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes optional
4 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion cut into ½-inch wedges
1 pound broccoli or other vegetables, cut into bite-sized pieces
½ pound carrots cut into very small sticks *(see note below)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, toss the chicken, garlic, ginger, 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Add salt and pepper as desired. Let stand 20-30 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cornstarch and water mixture, remaining rice vinegar, and remaining soy sauce. Set aside.
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture and sauté for 6 minutes, stirring 2-3 times.
Add onion. Stir-fry for one minute. (To stir-fry means that you stir or toss the food constantly while cooking over medium-high or high heat.)
Add the chicken broth mixture and bring the sauce to a boil.
Add the broccoli and carrots. Stir-fry until veggies are crisp-tender and the sauce is translucent.

Notes

I have a Pampered Chef french fry maker that makes nice, skinny carrot sticks. BUT most of the time, I buy pre-cut "shredded" carrots in the produce section of my grocery store. They're not really shredded (as you would with a box grater), but rather they are teeny tiny little carrot sticks that cook quickly in a stir fry. You can see them above in the photos.
