Stir Fry Sauce

1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos)

1 teaspoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder

2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces

1 red bell pepper deseeded and chopped

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, dry sherry, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and arrowroot powder. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok on medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken in a flat layer. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes, stirring as needed. Remove the chicken to a plate.
Leaving any juices in the pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil along with the red bell pepper, onion, carrot, and broccoli. Cook the vegetables until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chicken back to the pan with the minced ginger and garlic. Stir for 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce and stir fry for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

I always use low-sodium tamari soy sauce, so it's not overly salty. This is my favorite brand.
