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:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut and measure all of your vegetables and chicken before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and make the stir-fry process go more smoothly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the ingredients without overcrowding them.
- Heat your skillet or wok over high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and create a nice caramelized flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok: Add the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Overcrowding will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
- Stir-fry the chicken and vegetables until they are cooked through: The chicken should be cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the vegetables should be tender-crisp.
- Add the sauce and cook until heated through: Stir in the sauce and cook for a minute or two, or until the sauce is heated through.
- Serve immediately over rice or noodles: Vegetable chicken stir-fry is best served immediately over rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
Vegetable chicken stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight.
