Instructions

Step 1: Slice 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast into thin bite-sized strips. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the edges turn golden and chicken is nearly cooked through.
Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4: Toss in 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, and 1 large julienned carrot. Stir-fry everything for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 5: Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.
Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 sliced green onions on top. Serve immediately over 3 cups cooked jasmine rice for a complete meal.
