  • Slice your pepper into thin slices
  • Cut your chicken into bite size pieces and season with salt and pepper
  • Heat 1-2 TBS of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and toss your carrot ribbons for about 5 minutes until softened but not mushy; remove your carrots and set aside in a bowl or plate
  • Heat 1/2 TBS sesame oil in the same skillet over medium high heat
  • Add your chicken and cook until no longer pink and remove from heat and set aside
  • Add another 1/2 TBS of sesame oil to skillet and cook your broccoli and peppers and saute for about 5-10 minutes
  • Add your chicken, carrot ribbons and sauce to the skillet and mix up
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes
