Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
