⏱️ Cooking Time: 20 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

1. 1.
   Start by preparing all your ingredients: Slice the chicken breast into thin, uniform strips for even cooking. Cut the broccoli into small florets, and slice the red bell pepper into strips. Have your soy and sriracha sauces measured and ready.
2. 2.
   In a non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the sliced chicken. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink and starts to develop a golden brown color. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides.
3. 3.
   Add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper strips to the skillet. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes until the broccoli starts to turn bright green and the peppers soften slightly. You want them tender-crisp to maintain some bite and nutrients.
4. 4.
   Reduce the heat to low and pour in the soy sauce and sriracha sauce, stirring to evenly coat all the ingredients. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water to thin it out.
5. 5.
   Serve immediately on a plate or in a bowl. For a touch of freshness, garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your high-protein meal that is flavorful and perfectly satisfying.
