Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red and green bell peppers and carrot to the skillet. Stir fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, stirring to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
