The cooking time for this recipe is approximately 20 minutes, and it serves four people. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

To start the preparation process, begin by preparing your chicken. Slice each breast into thin strips, making sure they are even in size so that all pieces cook at the same rate.

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and cornstarch until smooth. Toss the sliced chicken strips with this mixture to coat them evenly. Let it sit for about 15 minutes while you prepare other ingredients like vegetables (red bell pepper, broccoli), and spices (garlic, ginger).

Once all the components are ready, heat up your wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add two tablespoons of vegetable oil to it and swirl around to coat evenly.

Add the chicken strips into the pan first; stir-fry them for about 5 minutes or until they become golden brown. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Lower down the heat slightly, then add more oil if needed before adding garlic and ginger to the wok. Sauté these ingredients briefly—just long enough for the aroma to develop but not let them burn. Now add your sliced red bell peppers along with broccoli florets into the same pan. Stir-fry until both vegetables reach a crisp-tender stage which should take another 3-4 minutes.

Return the previously cooked chicken back into the wok together with any juices left behind on the plate, along with soy sauce to enhance flavors once again. Cook for one more minute or so just enough for everything coming together nicely. Season it all according to your preference with salt and pepper before removing from heat.

Transfer the stir-fried chicken onto a serving dish and garnish it optionally with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately accompanied by steamed jasmine rice or noodles of your choice.
