Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Let marinate for 10 minutes while you prep vegetables.

Prepare all vegetables: cut broccoli into florets, slice carrots into thin rounds, slice bell pepper and onion into strips, mince garlic, and grate ginger.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix remaining soy sauce, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
Step 5
Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Add garlic and ginger, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 7
Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
