Step by Step Instructions

1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and stir-fry them until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
3. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender yet still crisp.
5. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring them in and cooking for an additional minute to release their flavors.
6. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the sauce by combining the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.
8. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken and vegetables.
9. Fold in the fresh raspberries gently, allowing them to warm slightly in the stir-fry without breaking apart.
10. Just before serving, sprinkle the stir-fry with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and garnish.
11. Serve the Radiant Raspberry Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry hot and enjoy!
