Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.
Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Stir in 1 julienned red bell pepper, 1 julienned yellow bell pepper, and 1 julienned green bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the peppers soften but retain some crunch.
Step 4: Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and sprinkle 1/2 tsp red chili flakes over the mixture. Stir continuously and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and peppers.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 sliced scallions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
