Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add cornstarch. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken stock, rice vinegar, and honey. Whisk together and set aside as the stir-fry sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes or until they become tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring everything together to combine.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately over your choice of cooked rice or gluten-free noodles.
