Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
