Ingredients

Scale

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
½ cup sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
Salt and pepper, to taste
Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Toss in the chicken pieces until well-coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 7–10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and broccoli. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Return chicken to the skillet along with any remaining marinade. Stir everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through and saucy.
Top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
