Steps:
- Blend all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender or food processor for 10 seconds. Taste the sauce and add your choice of sweetener to your liking. Blend again for a few more seconds. Heat the sauce in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the sauce to a heat proof bowl. Rinse the skillet clean. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the corn starch and massage the chicken with your hands. If using fresh broccoli or green beans, boil the broccoli for 3-5 minutes until soft enough to pierce with a fork yet firm. Transfer the vegetables to a plate lined with a paper towel. Wipe down the skillet until dry. Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet on medium-high heat. Cook the onion and chicken until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and stir-fry them together for 2 minutes. Slowly add a few tablespoons of sauce while stirring the vegetables and chicken. Continue to add the sauce a few tablespoons at a time, allowing about 15 seconds between each addition to allow sauce to slightly cook down. Spoon the stir-fry over a bowl of hot rice. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- **Use high-quality ingredients:** Fresh, high-quality vegetables and chicken will make a big difference in the final dish. - **Don't overcrowd the pan:** When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will help the vegetables and chicken cook evenly. - **Stir-fry in batches:** If you have a lot of vegetables or chicken, stir-fry them in batches. This will help prevent them from steaming instead of frying. - **Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet:** A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the food from sticking. - **Add sauce at the end:** Add the sauce at the end of the cooking process, once the vegetables and chicken are cooked through. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.Conclusion:
Chicken vegetable stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With a few simple tips, you can make a stir-fry that is packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give chicken vegetable stir-fry a try.
