Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots julienned
- 1/2 cup bell pepper sliced (any color)
- 3 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Notes
Serve over rice or noodles. For extra flavor, marinate chicken in a tablespoon of soy sauce for 15 minutes before cooking. Add a dash of sriracha for a spicy kick.
