Notes

Use 2 skinless chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs.
Cornstarch and cornflour are essentially the same thing, and they are used to thicken sauces. You can use either for this recipe, or use potato starch.
You can add vegetables of your choice like zucchini, broccoli, mushroom, bell pepper, onions etc.,
This dish can easily be made with readily available stir fry sauces as well. Directly use the packaged stir fry sauce in place of soy sauce, honey and rice vinegar. Add honey depending on your taste in accordance with the flavours of the stir fry sauce.
