Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn golden and chicken is cooked through; transfer to a plate.
2. Step 2: In the same wok, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
3. Step 3: Add 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 sliced yellow bell pepper, and 1 thinly sliced yellow onion, stir-frying for 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Step 4: Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly and coats all ingredients.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
