Instructions
- 1Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces (about ¾-inch cubes) and dice the onion. Mince the fresh ginger and garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes until smooth; set aside.
- 2Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften.
- 3Add the chicken pieces and 1 tablespoon soy sauce to the skillet. Cook 5–7 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer the chicken and onion to a plate.
- 4Add the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 5Add the broccoli slaw and cook 4–5 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- 6Return the chicken and onion to the skillet. Add the edamame and pour the soy sauce mixture over everything. Stir to combine and cook 1 minute over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.
- 7Remove from heat and stir in the canned mandarin oranges. Top with green onions and sesame seeds.
- 8Divide the stir fry evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Serve with brown rice.
