Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 3 scallions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Lightly season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger; set aside.

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 7

Add the scallions and cooked chicken back into the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the stir-fry, stirring to combine.
