Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Chop the green onions into small pieces, separating the white and green parts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the stir-fry sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and vegetables.
If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onions.
Serve immediately with brown rice, quinoa, or enjoy on its own for a low-carb option.
