1. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch together, then add the chicken pieces. Toss until the chicken is well-coated and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the sliced bell peppers and carrot to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the cashews and green onions. Stir well to combine everything.
6. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve hot over a bed of cooked white rice, ensuring the chicken and cashew mixture is generously spooned over the rice.
