Ingredients

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas

1 medium carrot, julienned

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch fresh ginger, grated

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)

Optional: cooked brown rice or quinoa for serving

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a dash of black pepper. Let it marinate while you prepare the vegetables, about 10-15 minutes.

Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.

Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. If desired, serve over a bed of cooked brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
