2 tbsp olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 medium carrot, julienned
3 cups broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 orange, juiced
1 lime, juiced
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water

1. In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
2. In the same pan, heat remaining olive oil. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add bell peppers, carrot, and broccoli to the pan. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, orange juice, lime juice, cornstarch, and water. Stir well to combine.
5. Return chicken to the pan and pour sauce over the stir fry. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a pan over medium heat until heated through, or microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway.
