Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)

Instructions

Prepare ingredients by washing and chopping the vegetables evenly. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil until shimmering.
Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes until browned, then flip to cook all sides thoroughly.
Incorporate bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots into the pan. Stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Pour over the stir-fry mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
