Instructions

Step 1: Marinate chicken in soy sauce, garlic, and 1 tbsp sesame oil for 15 minutes. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp water to create a slurry.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a wok over high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden, then remove and set aside.
Step 3: Add broccolini and bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp, then return chicken to the pan.
Step 4: Pour in remaining soy sauce and brown sugar. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the cornstarch slurry until sauce thickens and coats the chicken. Garnish with sesame seeds.
