Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti or fettuccine pasta
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup teriyaki sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 green onion, sliced for garnish
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until fully cooked through and lightly browned, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to release the aroma.

Step 5

Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Pour the teriyaki sauce and soy sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, stirring to coat it evenly in the sauce and mix it with the vegetables.

Step 8

Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, using tongs to combine everything well and ensure the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve hot.
