Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 medium garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Cut the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and stem.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and cornstarch, stirring until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the chicken strips to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until they are no longer pink and just cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Add the bell peppers, garlic, and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 3 minutes, until the peppers begin to soften.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the bell peppers.

Step 10

Pour the chicken broth into the pan, followed by the soy sauce-cornstarch mixture. Stir well to coat all the ingredients.

Step 11

Continue to cook and stir for about 3-4 minutes, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken and peppers are well coated.

Step 12

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss everything to combine.

Step 13

Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the finished dish as a garnish.

Step 14

Serve the chicken and bell pepper stir-fry hot, over rice or noodles if desired.
