Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
2. Step 2: Add 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and sauté with the chicken for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Step 3: Stir in 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 medium julienned carrot, and 1 medium sliced red bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
5. Step 5: Add 2 tbsp sesame oil and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
