Slice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and coat them evenly with cornstarch in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautΓ©ing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, and water to create the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss to combine. Allow the sauce to coat everything evenly and cook for 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
