Asian Chicken Sauté

Sweet and tangy, and full of Asian flavors, this is an easy and delicious keto meal. Inspired by Emily of Fuss Free Cooking. You could also skip the onions and bell pepper and make a marinade with all the sauce ingredients, omitting the broth. Coat the chicken and bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes.
