Instructions

  1. 1In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
  2. 2Add the chicken, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through and the juices run clear when cut, about 5 minutes. With a spoon, remove the chicken and onion to a plate and set aside.
  3. 3In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
  4. 4In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add the bell pepper. Cook 3 minutes.
  5. 5Add the broccoli slaw and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes more.
  6. 6Return the chicken and onions to the skillet. Add the edamame and pour the soy sauce mixture over the top and stir to combine.
  7. 7Let cook 1 minute to warm through and thicken the sauce. Top with the oranges, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve hot with brown rice.
