Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
