04 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
05 - 1 tsp sesame oil
06 - 1 medium zucchini, sliced
07 - 1⁄2 cup chopped bell pepper
08 - 1⁄2 white onion, chopped
09 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
10 - 1 tsp ginger, minced

11 - 1⁄3 cup honey
12 - 1⁄4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
13 - 1⁄4 cup chicken broth
14 - 1 tbsp rice vinegar
15 - 1 tsp sesame oil
16 - 1⁄4 tsp red pepper flakes

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, season the chicken with 1/2 tsp each salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
02 - In another bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until combined. Set aside.
03 - Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Remove vegetables and set aside.

06 - Return the vegetables to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook until heated through, about 1 minute more.
07 - Serve hot over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
