Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 2 medium bell peppers
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips. Cut the 2 bell peppers and 1 onion into similar-sized strips. Mince the 3 garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the 3 tbsp soy sauce and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until everything is coated and the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
