Prep all of the ingredients before starting the cooking.
Cut the vegetables into bite-size pieces, making sure that the broccoli is cut quite small, so vegetables cook at a similar rate.
Add sauce ingredients to a medium bowl; whisk together.
Cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces; place in a bowl. Sprinkle on the garlic powder and black pepper; stir; add the corn starch; stir until the chicken is coated.
In a deep skillet or wok, over medium-high heat, add 2 T. oil; allow the pan heat to up for a few minutes.
Cook chicken in 2 batches for the best browning. Add half of the chicken to the skillet, shaking off the excess corn starch prior to adding it to the pan. Cook for 4 minutes; use tongs to flip over; cook for another 3–4 minutes. The chicken should be browned and cooked through. Transfer to a platter.
Repeat for the second batch, adding the third tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. If the pan is dry, add a teaspoon or so of olive oil. Add the onions; cook for 1 minute, stirring several times.
Add the broccoli and bell peppers; cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. Vegetables should be tender-crisp, cooking a little longer if wanting them softer.
Add the chicken back into the pan; stir in the sauce (whisk sauce again quickly just prior to pouring it in). Let it bubble until thickened .(A little less than a minute), stirring constantly so everything is coated.
Remove the pan from the heat.
Serve immediately, with your favorite rice, if desired.
