Ingredients
  

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

2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots)

3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch fresh ginger, minced

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for stir-frying)

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked jasmine rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prep your vegetables.

    Heat the Oil: In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

        Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.

          Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

            Plate Up: Serve the stir-fry over jasmine rice or noodles, and enjoy your quick delicious meal!
