- 3 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 1/2 pieces medium onion sliced

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients until well combined, with the sweet aroma of mirin mixing beautifully with soy sauce.
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, season with garlic powder and black pepper, and coat thoroughly with cornstarch for a crispy finish.

- If the skillet is looking dry, add a touch of oil and toss in the onions, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Throw in the broccoli and bell peppers; cook for around 3 minutes, stirring often until the veggies are tender-crisp.
