Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
In the bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Prepare the vegetables: slice the red bell pepper, thinly slice the carrot, and separate broccoli into small florets.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. SautΓ© the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, and chili flakes (if using).
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
Turn off the heat and drizzle with sesame oil. Garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles, if desired. Enjoy your Chicken Stir Fry Oriental!
