Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 carrot, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a medium bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar until smooth, then pour over the chicken. Let it marinate while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper, cut the carrot into thin slices, and rinse the snap peas.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the chicken strips to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 10

Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 11

Toss everything together to combine well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish the stir fry with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 13

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
