Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips

2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch piece of ginger, grated

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 medium carrot, julienned

2 green onions, chopped

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (can substitute with brown rice or quinoa)

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening sauce, optional)

Sesame seeds for garnish

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, prepare your vegetables. Wash and slice the bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and carrot. Set aside.

      Stir-Fry the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil (vegetable or peanut works well) and once it’s hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and starts to brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

        Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then add the broccoli, bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

          Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. If you are using the cornstarch mixture for a thicker sauce, add that now. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through and well mixed.

            Assemble the Bowls: To serve, place a scoop of cooked jasmine rice in each bowl. Top with a generous portion of the chicken and vegetable stir-fry. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro if desired.

              Enjoy! Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and nourishing Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry Bowls!
