Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the sliced red bell pepper and saute for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet along with the sliced green onions. Toss everything to coat well in the sauce.

Step 8

Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and reduces.

Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with crushed peanuts and sesame seeds.

Step 10
