instructions
    1

    Start by chopping the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

    2

    Prepare all the vegetables: slice the bell pepper thinly, grate or julienne the carrot, and cut the broccoli into small florets.

    3

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

    4

    Add the chicken to the pan and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until it's no longer pink and is cooked through.

    5

    Add minced garlic (2 cloves) and ginger (1 teaspoon) to the chicken, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    6

    Stir in the chopped vegetables (bell pepper, carrot, broccoli) and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are tender but still crisp.

    7

    Pour 3 tablespoons of soy sauce over the stir-fry and cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine all flavors.

    8

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the top before serving.

    9

    Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
