instructions
    1

    Begin by preparing your chicken. Cut it into bite-sized pieces and season with black pepper. Set aside.

    2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    3

    Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes until they're golden and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

    4

    While the chicken cooks, chop your broccoli into florets, slice the carrot into thin rounds, and dice the bell pepper.

    5

    Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pan and set aside on a plate.

    6

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed, and toss in the chopped garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    7

    Next, add in the broccoli, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they're tender yet crisp.

    8

    Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in 1 cup of cream and 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir well to combine everything. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

    9

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and serve hot.
