Cook time15 min

Tender strips of chicken sear in a hot wok until golden, then mingle with crisp-tender broccoli, snap peas, and a colorful mix of red and yellow bell peppers for a stir-fry that's as vibrant on the plate as it is fast to make. Fresh garlic and ginger get bloomed right in the pan, filling the kitchen with that unmistakable stir-fry aroma before everything comes together in a glossy, savory sauce built on rice vinegar, a touch of sugar, and a splash of chicken broth, thickened to a silky finish with cornstarch. A drizzle of sesame oil adds warmth and depth, while sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds bring the finishing crunch. Spoon the whole skillet over a bed of fluffy white rice and you've got a weeknight dinner that eats like your favorite takeout order. It's an easy, satisfying option to add to a soy free dinner rotation, with bright vegetables and juicy chicken in every bite.
